Abstract: Ice abrasion tests were carried out to evaluate the wear resistance of a number of metallic coatings suggested for use on the Molikpaq in the ice zone during its deployment offshore of Sakhalin Island in the 1990’s. At this site, the structure would be exposed to actively drifting ice for about six months each year during which time the structure would be potentially exposed to extensive ice abrasion near the water surface. The project evaluated two types of coatings, (referred to here as Coating A and B to maintain confidentiality). Tests were also done on stainless steel.
