Fertan?

Doesn't want to download for me.

Works for me as it did from the original article I posted (https://www.ncptt.nps.gov/blog/comparative-study-of-commercially-available-rust-converters/) but I don't understand coopec's March 2016 reference.

The article says 'This research was completed in the summer of 2012, afterwards the results were presented at ICOM CC Metal 2013 in Edinburgh, Scotland. The results of the study were also published in the conference proceedings.' and gives the link to the paper (in which I could not see a date).

The article also says 'The next phase of the study began in the summer of 2013 ... looking at how rust converters react in a salt environment. ... This phase of the project is expected to finish around the beginning of 2015. The project’s final goal will be to test the best two rust convertors with the addition to a painting system and test this until failure. More information will be blogged as the research progresses.'

I could not find anything further on that.

I'm not sure what the problem is. You can't find the link or perhaps the link doesn't work?

What about googling COMPARATIVE STUDY OF RUST CONVERTERS. FOR HISTORIC but limit the search to articles published in the last year.

Let's see if that works?

Yes, I did exactly that - it takes me to the same paper - but there is no date in the paper itself that I can see, and it ends with the following to which I referred in my first post (#23): ‘Further work on this study includes natural weathering of samples under the same testing regime and further testing of rust converters while exposed to a salt environment’ which is the work which was said to be due to complete in 2015, but seems not to have been reported.

The NCPTT pdf that comes up on the Google search has a date of 21 Mar 2016 and a number (169) but as I said above, I can find no date in the paper itself. The NCPTT article here https://www.ncptt.nps.gov/blog/comparative-study-of-commercially-available-rust-converters/ refers to the work being started in 2010 and says:
‘This research was completed in the summer of 2012, afterwards the results were presented at ICOM CC Metal 2013 in Edinburgh, Scotland. The results of the study were also published in the conference proceedings. Click here for pdf of paper.’

That last sentence is a link (not live here, but live in the article) which will take you to the paper. The latter may perhaps have been published much later than 2013 (proceedings of academic conferences can take time to be published) or it may have been entered into some NCPTT registry in 2016 and the link added to the article, but it is not a report of the work on rust preventers in saline conditions that was said to be due to complete in 2015.

I respectfully suggest that you read the paper and see if you can find a date in it (rather than just in the Google search item that comes up). Also read the NCPTT article in the link in my second paragraph which will take you to the same paper.

AND neither can I which I find annoying.

Yes, it is annoying and IMO bad practice not to put the date in the paper - but conference proceedings (as opposed to journal articles) can often be poorly referenced in my experience. Anyway, I'm glad that's settled.

Are you double-clicking on the link and not cutting and pasting the link?

Did you do a google search as I suggested above? (Here is the suggestion again)
