Enhancing Quality, Value and Product Marketability Through/The Application of Coatings to Pipe and Tube

摘要

The application of coatings over carbon steel and alloy steel substrates has been a common practice to enhance corrosion performance and alter particular physical characteristics to make these products more suitable for specific applications. The purpose of this article is to provide a general presentation of how coatings can, and are utilized in the production of tubular products and shapes to improve product quality, widen the scope of material utilization and increase the value added during conversion of raw material to finished goods.
