Here two different coatings were applied on various materials and micro- structures. The formation of the blister, and its microstructural and material dependencies were evaluated. It is con- cluded that general organic coating forms more severe blisters than that of the metallic effect coating. General organic coating protects the samples by insulation film while metallic coating protects by acting as galvanic protection. There- fore, the failure modes are also different, namely blister and filiform corrosion. The dependencies on the microstruc- tures and on material types also follow the insulation film concept and galvanic protection concept.

Coating also can be adjusted by using less noble metal so that the less noble coating such as zinc coating Organic coating is among the most widely used surface corrodes instead of the metal itself. Thus, corrosion can engineering modifications. This corrosion protection met- be prevented. hod allows one to choose the type of the coating accord- Organic coating is a paint containing organic elements ing to the application.
