edge breaking for coating
(OP)
The [link linked page]https://www.aisc.org/DynamicTaxonomyFAQs.aspx?id=1...[/link]describes the problem perfectly, suggests a minimum radius, and then goes on to recommend not using it. "Breaking the corner" allows too much variation in interpretation to ensure sufficient coating thickness in my opinion. Anyone have some specification language they're willing to share? Application is painted steel in a corrosive atmosphere, where the rust tends to begin at the corners. Thanks.

Sorry but I have no spec reference for you on this.

I find that common sense is not all that common, especially among suppliers competing in a bid.
Moltenmetal and the NACE SP0178 both use the word radius, so maybe this isn't as bad as the link above suggests? I've seen reference to a 1/8" radius or chamfer, but I'm a little unsure exactly what a 1/8" chamfer is. Which dimension does the 1/8" apply to, and will my suppliers have the same understanding without my drawing it out?
