Metal structures such as hydroelectric power station sluice gates Zinc and aluminum spray for corrosion protection Construction
Steel gates, trash racks, and gate slot embedded parts in hydraulic metal structures are exposed for long periods to alternating dry and wet conditions, submersion underwater, and the erosive effects of flowing water. They are also subjected to corrosion caused by atmospheric factors, sunlight, temperature fluctuations, aquatic organisms, as well as impact and abrasion from sediment and other floating debris, making the steel surfaces highly susceptible to corrosion. Once corrosion sets in, the load-bearing capacity of the steel structure gradually declines, seriously compromising the safe operation of the project. To effectively control steel corrosion and extend the service life of the gates, it is essential to adopt efficient anti-corrosion measures. In hydropower station projects, all metal structures (except for the back sides of hoisting mechanisms and embedded parts) are protected with a long-term anti-corrosion coating consisting of thermally sprayed zinc metal, followed by sealing with zinc spray and topcoating with paint. For the back sides of gate slot embedded parts, after sandblasting to remove rust, a cement-sand mortar containing a caustic soda solution is applied. To facilitate quality control during construction and ensure effective anti-corrosion performance, the key technical requirements for thermal spraying of metallic zinc in hydropower station projects have been formulated, referencing current national standards and relevant documents such as the "Code for Corrosion Protection of Metal Structures in Hydraulic Structures."
