Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rustless Coatings: Corrosion and Electrolysis of Iron and Steel Since the publication of the papers "Rustless Coatings for Iron and Steel," in the years 1894-1901, the author has received many requests from engineers and others to present them in a more available form than in the Transactions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and in the columns of the various American and foreign technical journals. The subjects have been mainly rewritten and new matter added to bring them up to date. The characteristics of oils, pigments, and paints that form the principal protective coatings for ferric and other structures are given at length under their respective chapters. It is believed by the author that the collected data will afford a reliable source of information of what paints are composed and what may be expected of them. The technical journals have given a great deal of space to the subject of proctective coatings for metals, but the data are not always available when comparison with some recent result or experiment is required. The author acknowledges the assistance afforded him in the collection of the data, by the technical press and nearly two hundred other sources, and he has, as far as possible, given credit for the same. The subjects are so grouped in the work, and so detailed in the index, that the busy man can find the data that will bear on the case in hand and enable him to avoid some, if not all, of the unfavorable results that have attended previous applications of some misleading trade-mark mixture. Most of the analyses and tests of the commercial pigments and paints have been repeated many times without any material discrepancy from the data herein given. The results from the use of many of these paints are apparent in the excessive and continual corrosion of important ferric structures everywhere. He that runs may not always read, but he can at least see; hence should be able to profit by the experience of those who have preceded him.
