The Talks: Corrosion Myths and Realities: Separating Misconceptions from Evidence
Corrosion still remains one of the most misunderstood phenomena in industrial and infrastructure contexts, often resulting in inadequate maintenance practices, unexpected failures, and unnecessary costs. 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.
The 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.

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.
Understanding Cut-edge Corrosion of Model Coatings on Different Grades of Galvanized Steel.
The 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.
Both 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.
Thomas 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.

Presentation title: “The Critical Role of Impurity Analysis in Ensuring the Integrity of CCUS Projects”.
Abstract
The successful execution of Carbon Capture, Use and Storage (CCUS) projects hinges on the management of several technical criteria, with the integrity of equipment, materials, and critical components being paramount. 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.
The 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.
Reaction 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.
This 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.

The Talk: Advances in the technology of corrosion inhibitor Synopsis: The talk focuses on the role of corrosion inhibitors in mitigating corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC), a primary cause of structural deterioration. Corrosion initiates when the protective passive film on reinforcing steel is destabilized due to reduced pore solution pH or increased chloride concentration, allowing aggressive ions to penetrate concrete and induce localized corrosion. Among various physical and electrochemical protection methods, corrosion inhibitors are widely adopted as a cost-effective solution to extend service life. Used in low concentrations, inhibitors reduce corrosion rates and may offer additional self-healing functionality. They are classified based on chemical composition, application method, and protection mechanism. The talk will discuss inhibitor performance in different aggressive environments, with emphasis on emerging green inhibitors exhibiting self-sensing and self-healing capabilities.
