The following technical tracks will be available at the conference.
Policy Administrator’s Perspective of Service and Corporate Programs to Mitigate Corrosion of Fleets of Military Equipment as well as specific systems.
Describes Agency programs to manage, prevent or control corrosion using specific technologies (such as cathodic protection systems)
1) Describes Practices & Testing of microscopic & macroscopic solutions for preventing or detecting corrosion; or 2) Reports of successful Products or Systems for extending the useful service life of Materiel and Military Structures
Reports on ongoing successful educational courses and field training programs and/or Fleet Support activities to mitigate corrosion degradation during in-service use in specific corrosive environments
Reports on system-level approaches to mitigate corrosion and may include the application life cycle cost approaches, business case analyses, lessons learned from the field, and failure analyses.
Analytic/Computational Modeling a) of the generic phenomenologically specific corrosion phenomena/ mechanism (across all size scales including: atomic, nano, microscopic, macroscopic and even for components and materiel systems) or b) for a materials specific system or alloy class
Identifying critical atomic and/or microscopic scale phenomena that might then subsequently be used to mitigate specific corrosion mechanisms
Reports on the discovery and use of specific/generic corrosion inhibitor species to reduce or mitigate specific corrosion degradation mechanisms
Quantification of corrosion degradation of metallic and coated samples and materiel components using accelerated and outdoor exposure protocols
Covers Systems and Methodologies directed at detecting, monitoring and assessing corrosion phenomena under both laboratory and in-service environments
Use of sensors to monitor basic corrosion phenomena as well as ruggedized sensor packages to determine the progress of Corrosion Degradation of components and entire materiel (weapons platforms and structures) systems exposed to fielded in-service environments
Reports on conventional and novel primers demonstrating enhanced performance and durability in specific corrosive environments
Reports on conventional and novel paint systems intended to have enhanced performance and durability in specific corrosive environments
Reports on novel specialty or non-traditional coating systems intended to have enhanced performance and durability in specific corrosive environments
Reports on novel Surface Preparations or Pretreatments on original or stripped surfaces and/or the development of novel (e.g. hex chrome free) solutions for mitigating corrosion
Reports on the use of specific metallic alloys to mitigate corrosion in specific corrosive environments
Reports on the use of specific ceramic, polymeric materials, or composites to mitigate corrosion in specific corrosive environments
Reports on novel, composite or advanced materials solutions for more durable F&I applications in specific service environments
Reports on novel or advanced treatments and coatings that produce more durable solutions for extending the service life of F&I components or systems in specific service environments
Student Research in Progress (SRiP)
The SRiP is intended to encourage graduate and undergraduate students interested in becoming professional Corrosion scientists, engineers or technologists the opportunity to present ongoing research. Extended abstracts, as opposed to full technical papers, are required in order to participate and present in the SRiP.
