Abstract
Protection of steel elements is vital in steel construction manufacturing. In order to prevent corrosion and adverse influence from the surroundings, all steel structures need to be adequately protected. One of the key elements in securing the structure durability is the quality of protection coating, which - if applied properly, prolongates structure’s expected usage. Coating technology is a process, which requires knowledge of all necessary steps of structure protection process, from surface prepping to choosing the coating system and lastly, drying. This paper describes anticorrosive protection coating systems for steel structures by focusing on key elements for selecting the adequate coating system, as well as the covering surface preparation process, depending on atmospheric corrosivity class.
