Eurocorr 2009: 'Corrosion from the nanoscale to the plant' – part 4

Abstract

Last year’s Eurocorr conference took place at the Acropolis Convention Centre in Nice from 6 to 10 September. The focus of the meeting was ‘Corrosion from the Nanoscale to the Plant’. The meeting attracted 800 delegates and over 360 papers and 200 posters were presented during the 25 sessions and workshops. Part 1 of the report, published in the December issue, covered the opening session and plenary lectures. Part 2 of the report, published in the February issue, reviewed technical sessions on automotive corrosion, corrosion of archaeological and heritage artefacts, organic coatings and cathodic protection and marine corrosion. Part 3 of the report, published in the April issue, reviewed technical sessions on inhibitors, oil and gas, polymeric materials, metallic and inorganic coatings and pretreatments. Parts 4 and 5 will review the remaining technical sessions with corrosion and corrosion protection in drinking water systems, recent advances in surface analytical techniques and applications to corrosion research, simulation, modelling and life prediction, environmental sensitive fracture and corrosion mechanisms and methods covered in this report.
