Corrosion Engineering Division

The purpose of the Corrosion Engineering Division is to ‘provide an informal forum for the exchange of ideas and information pertaining to Corrosion Engineering issues'.  More specifically the benefits of the CED to its members include:

• a mechanism for members to meet and discuss corrosionengineering issues related to their field of activity in the UK;
• a forum to facilitate the exchange of information and experience.
• a mechanism for members to jointly prepare documents that are of immediate and practical use to them in their field of activity (e.g. codes of practice, guidelines for processes and techniques, input to standards bodies, etc.).  Documents produced by the working groups will be downloadable through the ICorr web site for a small fee;
• a means of liaising with communicating with the working parties of international organisations (e.g. EFC, NACE working parties) and reducing the expense of travelling abroad to attend meetings.

The activities will be driven by the needs of the members, who can be drawn from across the spectrum of member organisations (i.e. industry,
academia, research organisations, etc.). A number of working groups are in operation under the chairmanship of a nominated person.  Nick Smart (Serco Technical Consulting Services) is the Chair of the Corrosion Engineering Division and reports on activities to the Council of the Institute; Douglas Mills is the coordinator for the CED and its working groups.  The current working groups are:

• Cathodic protection (chair Ross Fielding)
• Monitoring (chair Bill Cox)
• Nuclear (chair Nick Smart)
• Coatings (chair Brenda Peters)
• Oil-field chemicals (chair Peter Allison)
• Water treatment     (chair Pam Simpson)
• Corrosion in Concrete (chair Ali Sharifi)
  

Other groups could be started if there is sufficient support from the members.  It is anticipated that the working groups will operate both through holding topical meetings and through electronic media, making use of the Institute’s web site.  The chairs of the individual working groups will liaise with the corresponding working groups in international bodies such as EFC, NACE, WCO, ASTM, etc.  The CED activities will aim to be complimentary to the activities of these other bodies rather than competing.

CED Working Day and Symposium on Microbial Corrosion
26th April 2012, Birmingham

The Corrosion Engineering Division will be running a Spring Working Day on Thursday 26th April 2012 at the National Motorcycle Museum Conference Centre, Birmingham.  The theme for the meeting will be ‘Microbial Corrosion’.  The programme will start with a plenary lecture about Microbial Corrosion, given by Dr. Jim Stott, a Senior Consultant in the Production Chemistry Team at Intertek-CAPCIS Limited.  This will be followed by a series of talks on the subject of microbial corrosion relating to the various working groups of the Corrosion Engineering Division. This working day will be a good opportunity to network with other corrosion professionals from different industry sectors and to discuss some of the latest developments in the field of microbial corrosion and corrosion engineering.  If you are interested in giving a presentation at the working day please contact Nick Smart, CED chair, at nick.smart@serco.com. Further information will be posted on the Institute’s web site in due course.  Entry to the museum will be available at the end of the working day at a reduced rate.
