The effect of peak count of


surface roughness on coating performance. Journal of Protective Coatings and
Linings. 22. 52-64. A portable instrument is being used to objectively measure
surface profile parameters. Profile peak can be measured, it can be controlled and
it does make a difference in coating performance. The parameters corresponding to
peak height, Rmax and Rt, were independent from the parameter for roughness as
measured by peak count, Pc. These parameters are controlled using standard
commercially available abrasives in a standard type of wheel-blast machine. Peak
count can affect the performance of a coating as measured by pull-off adhesion
strength, scribe under cutting and in some cases cracking if profile height is kept
constant. The inference is that once this relationship between peak count and paint
performance is fully documented, it may require owners to specify a range for peak
count as well as a range for peak height. High peak count surfaces performed better
than low peak count surfaces for all accelerated environments.
