Corrosion survey of the palm greenhouse support structure in the castle garden in Lány

Abstract

The corrosion survey of the supporting steel/cast iron structure of the palm greenhouse included not only the characteristics of the used metal materials (microstructure, chemical composition), but also the current state of the system of corrosion protection (thickness and stratigraphy of the applied coating system). From a static point of view, the palm greenhouse design meets the applicable standards if two damaged cast iron columns are repaired. A new top coat with extended corrosion resistance is required on the surface of individual metal profiles.
