← TechnologyWhich consequence results when an uncured epoxy coating system experiences significant thermal cycling on a steel I-beam?
A)Disbondment via differential thermal expansion✓
B)Increased substrate cathodic protection effect
C)Improved coating impact resistance values
D)Reduced galvanic corrosion current density
💡 Explanation
Thermal cycling causes differential thermal expansion between steel and the coating, leading to interfacial shear stress and eventual disbondment; because cohesive failure does not have time to set. Therefore, adhesive failure weakens the coated steel rather than galvanic protection.
