The Tank Museum at Bovington, SouthWest of United Kingdom, is home to over 300 military tanks which has significant cultural andhistoric heritage. This collection includes the only running Tiger I tank in the world. Thesehistoric artefacts are exposed to aging mechanisms such as corrosion, stress corrosion cracking,fatigue and wear in the interacting surfaces. This paper focuses on surface engineering throughapplication of corrosion resistant coatings. Majority of the Tanks are going through various levelsof corrosion failures. Three key military tanks Centaur, M10 and Sherman were selected toperform prohesion (ASTM G85 A5) tests on their bare surfaces. Currently used primer andcoating were also subjected to prohesion tests separately. Corrosion accumulation on uncoatedsurfaces was severe which resulted only after 48 hours of exposure. Primer and coatingsdemonstrated some degree of corrosion resistance, however, these were subsequently failed aswell. Results of corrosion propagation and a comparison between uncoated and coated surfacesare presented.
