Production
The coating requirements are getting stricter due to the extreme conditions crane components suffer, such as: extreme temperatures (negatives or positive), corrosion areas in direct contact with salt (seaboard coastal areas with an exceed of salinity or hooks located on the decks of commercial vessels or in their supporting works), direct contact with salt water (e.g., submerged subsea components), direct contact with fresh water (hydroelectric plants), direct contact with chlorinated water (nuclear power station cooling pools), being the most extreme ones from coating specification point of view:
For the extreme cases just mentioned, as a result of its experience IRIZAR FORGE has developed specific instructions and procedures for protection in these applications, for example, to combine the welding beads with zinc- rich silicones and other specific seals.
