High-Pressure Water Jetting and Coating of Steel Structures

High-Pressure Water Jetting and Coating of Steel Structures covers the fundamentals of the coating, cleaning, and preparation of steel surfaces through high-pressure water jetting. It starts by covering the basics, providing readers with key definitions, classifications, and general applications, before discussing fundamental concepts and equipment, such as water jet generation, drop impact erosion, high-pressure pumps, pressure accessories, and more. Steel surface preparation is covered next, outlining process optimization and modeling techniques, water and paint disposal methods, and more. Surface quality aspects and standards are also discussed, and this revised edition has been updated to include a brand new chapter on coating performance, as well as new sections throughout covering the use of artificial intelligence in modeling and process optimization, new corrosion protection methods, new jetting methods and equipment, and much more.
