Abstract
The presentation reports about a nationally funded 3-year R&D project on the effects of edge geometry and coating type on the corrosion protection performance of organic coatings on edges with particular attention to ballast water tank applications. Core of the presentation is the description of the testing scenarios, the introduction of three assessment methods, and the discussion of the results. Testing methods included the long-term testing of samples in a specially designed IMO chamber, the utilisation of electric impedance spectroscopy and DFT measurements on polished cross sections of coated edges.
