Description

The analysis of failures from two different coating-substrate systems has been described. It has been shown that in the instance of polybutadiene coated steel XPS can identify three different loci of failure. By careful specimen preparation it has also proved possible to understand something of the nature of polymer-metal bonding. The rate of failure of the epoxy coating on cathodically protected steel depends on the substrate surface profile. The mechanism of failure, deduced from XPS analysis of the failed interface, is not, however, variable with this parameter. (author)
