Like in this case of Digital Paint Report (DPR) is a cloud based\, AI driven tool designed to assist shipowners and operators in remotely monitoring coating and corrosion conditions aboard their vessels.\nSteelcorr innovated by creating this “Digital Paint Report (DPR)© app\, an AI-powered Corrosion and Hull Fouling Monitoring solution”\, that is used by 500+ Ships globally. Leveraging machine learning algorithms\, the app analyses uploaded images to detect areas of coating breakdown\, grade corrosion severity\, and track trends over time. It presents an intuitive dashboard with actionable insights\, enabling more timely\, consistent maintenance planning and reducing reliance on labour-intensive visual surveys. Already deployed on hundreds of vessels\, the DPR app has demonstrated how intelligent imaging and remote data processing can significantly streamline hull maintenance workflows.\n\nSpeaker:\nLeroy Dias\, Founder – SteelCorr & Digital Paint Report\nAMPP Certified Coating Specialist & Senior Corrosion Technologist\nFROSIO Certified Paint Inspector\n\nProgramme:\n17:00 – 17:35 | Presentation\n17:35 – 18:00 | Q&A with the Speaker\n\nCPD Certificates: Available on request – please email: midlandschair@icorr.org\nWe look forward to welcoming you to the session.\n\nDownload Information Flyer URL:https://www.icorr.org/event/midlands-branch-online-web-event-ai-powered-corrosion-mapping-on-ships/ CATEGORIES:Midlands Branch END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250826T083000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250826T163000 DTSTAMP:20260403T234102 CREATED:20241209T133533Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250814T140536Z UID:24101-1756197000-1756225800@www.icorr.org SUMMARY:2025 Corrosion Awareness Day: Introduction to Corrosion and Cathodic Protection DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Corrosion Aberdeen branch\, warmly invites you to attend its 2025 Corrosion Awareness Event.\n\nOur previous events have proved very successful attracting a large audience and early booking is advised.\n\nThis year’s event will focus on the principles and costs of corrosion with a featured introduction to prevention by “Cathodic Protection (CP)\,” aiming to address current challenges and sharing of latest technologies and strategies in managing corrosion by this method.\n\nHighlights include presentations and case studies by industry experts\, demonstrations by our key sponsor AUTOMA (of Italy) and networking opportunities.\n\nEvent details:\n\nTuesday 26th Aug 2025\, 8.30 am – 4.30 pm\n\n8.30 am – Registration\n\nWe very much look forward to you joining us on the day.\n\nHow to Register\n\nStep 1: Payment is via the Institute of Corrosion website\nStep 2: Complete the delegate registration form: Online Registration (to be completed by all delegates)\n\nOn behalf of the Aberdeen Committee\, we thank you for your continued support.\n\nDownload Information Leaflet URL:https://www.icorr.org/event/2025-corrosion-awareness-day-introduction-to-corrosion/ CATEGORIES:Aberdeen Branch END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250903T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250904T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T234102 CREATED:20241217T142725Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250611T152906Z UID:24129-1756890000-1757005200@www.icorr.org SUMMARY:2025 UK-China Corrosion Summit DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 3 September 2025: One Day Conference plus Evening Conference Dinner.\nThursday 4 September 2025: Half Day University Visit and Half Day Industrial Visit. \nFor further information and to register URL:https://www.icorr.org/event/2025-uk-china-corrosion-summit/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250907T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250911T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T234102 CREATED:20241204T135554Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241204T135554Z UID:24067-1757235600-1757610000@www.icorr.org SUMMARY:2025 EUROCORR DESCRIPTION:In Stravnager\, Norway URL:https://www.icorr.org/event/2025-eurocorr/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250915T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250917T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T234102 CREATED:20250708T091640Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250708T091640Z UID:25723-1757926800-1758128400@www.icorr.org SUMMARY:Oman Corrosion and Material Innovation Summit DESCRIPTION:15-17 September 2025\nOman Convention & Exhibition Centre\, Muscat \nOman Corrosion and Material Innovation Summit \nEvent Partner: Institute of Corrosion \nDownload information Leaflet URL:https://www.icorr.org/event/oman-corrosion-and-material-innovation-summit/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250925T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250925T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T234102 CREATED:20250501T141415Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250501T141816Z UID:25374-1758794400-1758816000@www.icorr.org SUMMARY:Corrosion Mechanisms in Stainless Steels DESCRIPTION:Corrosion causes plant shutdowns\, waste of valuable resources\, loss or contamination maintenance\, expensive over design and jeopardises safety.

This presentation explores the widespread misconceptions surrounding corrosion\, examining why they are inaccurate and highlighting the underlying principles that govern material degradation. Through a series of carefully selected case studies\, the presentation demonstrates how these misconceptions can lead to misjudgements in design\, material selection\, and preventive strategies. \nThe discussion emphasises that corrosion is a complex electrochemical process influenced by multiple interacting factors\, rather than a simple\, predictable outcome of environmental exposure. By analysing real-world scenarios\, the presentation reveals how assumptions about corrosion behaviour can diverge significantly from observed outcomes\, underlining the importance of evidence-based assessment. \nRAchael earned her Master’s degree in Materials Engineering from Swansea University and is now a Materials Scientist at R-TECH Materials in Port Talbot. She specialises in materials-based investigations across a diverse range of metals\, alloys\, composites\, and plastics\, providing insights that support industries from petrochemical and oil & gas to marine and automotive. Her work combines technical expertise with practical problem-solving to address complex materials challenges in real-world applications. \nUnderstanding Cut-edge Corrosion of Model Coatings on Different Grades of Galvanized Steel. \nThe primary objective of this work was to identify and characterise the mechanisms and the kinetics of cut-edge corrosion of hot dipped galvanized steel (HDG) in comparison to new alloy coatings containing Zn\, Al (55 wt%) and Mg (up to 2wt.%). The understanding of the cut-edge corrosion behaviour of new metallic coatings is critically important due to their ubiquitous use in steel construction products\, especially those with organic coatings\, in addition to aligning with the growing initiative for renewability & sustainability in the modern world. To do this we studied the cut-edge properties of various galvanized steel panels under a protective Polyvinylbutyral (PVB) coating to ascertain the fundamental mechanisms of their corrosion. Each galvanized substrate was coated with a 25 µm thick PVB coating with a 1 mm diameter through coating circular defect created down to both the galvanizing layer and bare Fe metal of each material. These samples were then cycled through controlled environments with adjusted variables of temperature\, exposure time and electrolyte concentration. An example being placed in a controlled environment of 23.5oC with a relative humidity of 80% and a droplet of 5 wt.% NaCl applied over the defect area and was observed every 3 days for a total period of 30 days. We found that HDG showcased a consistent and rapid rate of corrosion throughout\, with severe delamination and corrosion occurring between the exposed HDG layer and PVB interface. Conversely the Al and Al/Mg containing samples showed different behaviour as the initial rate of corrosion was many times lower than the HDG samples\, with corrosion product visible only after multiple days of exposure. \nBoth Al containing coatings also displayed minimal delamination of the PVB later when exposed for the same length of time under similar conditions. Considering the two Al containing materials\, the initial corrosion rate of the Mg containing coating was higher than that of its counterpart\, however\, it later displayed a rapid decrease in the corrosion rate. The addition of Al and Mg reduces the cut-edge corrosion in comparison to HDG in systems with a model organic coating providing initial insights for further coating studies with multi-layer commercial paint systems. \nThomas Michael is a Swansea University post-graduate researcher in collaboration with AkzoNobel\, specialising in research regarding both corrosion mechanisms & organic coating systems for steel substrates. He graduated from Swansea University in 2023 with a degree in Material Science & Engineering and has an extensive family background in scientific fields. Outside of work he can be found modifying computers or participating in large scale group puzzle activities. \nAdditional Information: \nRegistration information will be shared with our Branch volunteers to help facilitate the \nFor Continuing Professional Development (CPD) or to join our Mailing List\, request by email to: swchair@icorr.org \nInstitute Professional Memberships are available at: https://www.icorr.org/grades-and-benefits-of-individual-membership-2/ \nFree Student Memberships are available at: https://www.icorr.org/free-student-membership/ [icorr.org] \nDownload Information Leaflet URL:https://www.icorr.org/event/icorr-wales-south-west-england-branch/ LOCATION:Swansea University\, Fabian Way\, Crymlyn Burrows\, Skewen\, Swansea\, Swansea\, SA1 8EN\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Wales and South-West Branch END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251120T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251120T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T234102 CREATED:20250728T124504Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251028T153515Z UID:25863-1763640000-1763658000@www.icorr.org SUMMARY:ICorr Yorkshire and Humber relaunch event and AGM - Corrosion challenges in additively manufactured metal alloys DESCRIPTION:More information to follow URL:https://www.icorr.org/event/icorr-yorkshire-and-humber-relaunch-event-and-agm-corrosion-challenges-in-additively-manufactured-metal-alloys/ CATEGORIES:Yorkshire Branch END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251125T174500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251125T203000 DTSTAMP:20260403T234102 CREATED:20251111T150745Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251111T154038Z UID:26646-1764092700-1764102600@www.icorr.org SUMMARY:IOM3/MIS/ICORR JOINT EVENT - Evening Technical Presentation DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Corrosion (ICorr) Aberdeen Branch is very pleased to announce the November 2025 monthly technical event  which will be held in-person on Tuesday 25th November 2025 at 18:00 (UK Time). \nPlease note that this will be IN-PERSON event .

Recent data indicates that 33% of all unintentional CO2 releases in existing assets were attributed to equipment or material/weld issues\, primarily stemming from corrosion processes influenced by poorly understood effect of impurities in the CO2 streams. \nThe corrosive properties of CO2\, in both gaseous and dense phases\, are highly sensitive to impurities commonly found in the streams\, which can adversely affect integrity and operability. The impurities in the stream\, after processing\, although at low levels can react to form new compounds\, such as acids and secondary aqueous phases\, which can impact the integrity of pipelines. These effects must be considered when setting impurity levels for a project. Even seemingly non-reactive species\, like glycols and alcohols\, can alter thermodynamics and phase envelopes\, affecting the solubility of other impurities during phase changes. \nReaction chemistry in CCUS projects is an evolving field with limited experimental data. Testing the effects of impurities is in its early stages\, with new methodologies and approaches being developed but much more is required to fully understand the effects of the impurities. \nThis presentation discusses the analysis of impurities and their impact on the selection\, qualification\, and assurance of materials to ensure the proposed asset life is achieved. Various detrimental mechanisms\, including corrosion in relation to the impurity levels are discussed. Current CO2 corrosion prediction models in aqueous environments are limited in their ability to predict corrosion in pure CO2 streams\, and the effect that impurities have. Recent advances in models consider the effect of the impurities\, and use thermodynamic models to predict the formation of a secondary water phase\, examples of this are discussed in the presentation. \nBiography:   \nGeorge Winning is a highly experienced Corrosion Subject Matter Expert (SME) with a distinguished career spanning over three decades in the oil and gas industry.
