Corrosion of Steel
Corrosion of steel from new to painting. When steelwork is produced from molten iron and passes through the mill to form shape when cooled it is light blue in colour and known as Mill Scale.
This finish is where the layer of of molten steel is deposited back onto the fabricated body of produced steel items such as stanchions and girders. This layer of the molten steel needs to be removed before painting. This can be done byway of natural weathering, grit/sand blasting, flame cleaning or acid cleaning.

Results similar appearance to mud cracking.
Cratering

The formation of ridges and hollows in a paint or varnish coating.Cross Hatch Adhesion Testing
Cross Hatch Adhesion Testing
A cross hatch adhesion test is used to check the adhesion of a coating over the applied substrate. 
This is by drawing over the surface the cutting blades and then firmly applying clear adhesive tape applied over the hatch markings
and on removal the adhesion result is based on the amount of paint product is removed .
