Midlands Branch Workshop: Surface Analysis for Corrosion
2018-01-24 09:30 - 14:00 | Aston University, Birmingham, B4 7ET, United Kingdom
Overview:

It is estimated that corrosion in industrialised nations can costs up to 5.0% of GNP per year. Thus reduction or elimination of corrosion has the potential to save vast amounts of money.
Under normal circumstances, corrosion concerns very thin layers at a surface, when a protective or passivating surface oxide film breaks down allowing contact between the active metal and invading molecular species. To tackle these issues, it is necessary to understand the corrosion process in each specific case, which can only be done by understanding the chemistry within the first few atomic layers of a surface.
Appropriate analytical techniques for surface analysis and depth profiling can help to provide a competitive edge in understanding and controlling corrosion.
Loughborough Surface Analysis Ltd (LSA) and Midlands Surface Analysis Ltd (MSA) in association with the Institute of Corrosion Midlands Branch are organising a one-day workshop addressing surface analysis and depth profiling techniques and how they can be used to help with a variety of challenges relating to corrosion. The workshop draws upon a wealth of real-world experience in using these techniques to assist with issues such as:

Corrosion and Corrosion Protection
Staining
Coatings
Delamination
Contamination and Impurities
Cleaning
Etching
Adhesion
Surface Treatment

The workshop will be held at Aston University, Birmingham, located at the heart of England, with good road, rail and air links to all parts of the UK. The workshop will consist of a series of seminars given by experts in the field on the individual techniques (including case studies), together with an optional practical demonstrations on some of the techniques in the laboratories of MSA Ltd.
Opportunities will also be provided to discuss participants’ specific cases either in an open forum or in private with the analysts present.
Who should attend?
This workshop provides a unique opportunity for failure analysts, process engineers, yield improvement managers, quality control managers and R&D staff to learn about or refresh their knowledge of surface analytical and depth profiling techniques. If you have the task of fixing the material related problems when they arise then this is the workshop for you.
Agenda:

Technology Advancements in Integrity Management of Storage Tanks
By
John Lilley and Mark Stone
Sonomatic Ltd
The industry is well versed with Corrosion mapping of vessels and pipework but Corrosion Mapping of Storage Tanks has always relied on “dropping the tank” which has an impact on production and risk. The industry does not like working in confined spaces and there are moves towards zero-man entry over the lifetime of storage and process vessels.
Storage Tanks are susceptible to a range of internal and external corrosion processes. As such inspection plays a major role in effective integrity management of Storage Tanks. Historically, inspection of the floor has relied on emptying the tank and personnel entry for cleaning and inspection. Internal inspection for other mechanisms also takes place at this time. This means tanks can be out of service for significant periods of time.
Sonomatic have developed a range of methods for inspection of Storage Tanks while in-service. A key element is robotic cleaning and inspection of the floor. This forms part of a comprehensive inspection in which the tank shell is also inspected non-intrusively using ultrasonic corrosion mapping supported by statistical analysis. The presentation will give an overview of the technologies involved, how these link into more efficient integrity management of Storage Tanks and will also include a case study of field application.
A fascinating not to be missed presentation

Description
In an age when materials and engineering systems are expected to withstand ever more extreme environments corrosion remains of great importance. The cost of corrosion is still estimated to be 4% GDP for most developed nations although this has increased to 6.2% in the USA as per the latest NACE Corrosion cost study in 2016. This confirms that better mitigation techniques are still required and new approaches need to be explored. Managing corrosion is a pertinent challenge for industry and academia across many industrial applications (e.g. oil and gas, automotive, biomedical, energy, space exploration). In this 59th Corrosion Science Symposium we will capture exciting and recent advances in corrosion science and engineering, the application of these principles to engineering systems, and discuss the exciting developments across a wide range of application areas.
