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.

Evening of Case Study Presentation Young Engineer Programme 2018
2018-11-08 18:00 - 21:00 | Imperial College, Skempton Building, London SW7 2BB, Skempton Building, London, SW7 2BB
Evening of Case Study Presentation Young Engineer Programme 2018 is Case Study Presentations which is the culmination to this year Young Engineer Programme.
The Case Study which as you can see is a difficult scenario to offer a solution. The candidates have been split into teams assigned mentors and asked to present their case having demonstrated the following:
1. Review the exchanger design/ operating data and propose credible root causes for the degradation of the 1st stage tube sheet.
2. Define the potential failure scenarios for degradation
3. If the cooler were taken out service, describe a testing scope to confirm the root cause of the corrosion damage. Note: The Scope can include destructive methods
4. Explain how you would perform a corrosion risk assessment to help the installation’s management team determine if the train can be restarted. How would you determine the scope the ongoing integrity surveillance plan to support a restart and what would the scope include?
5. What mitigation options could applied to prolong the service life of the heat exchanger? Critically review the list of mitigation options and present case for the method (s) that would be implemented at site.
6. Using the design and operating data provided, present alternative materials of construction for a replacement heat exchanger and describe the basis for the selection. Note that the heat exchanger design may be changed to accommodate the material selected but the design parameters and foot print should be broadly similar to the original.
The winning team will be rewarded with an expenses paid trip to Nashville to attend the NACE Conference 2019. It is not a holiday, they will be expected to report on the Technical Sessions they have attended and what they have learnt from them. There will of course be a lot of networking and introduction whilst they are in the environment.
Venue: Imperial College, The lecture Theatre Rooms 163 and 164

Corrosion under Insulation - Review of Coatings Standards NACE T516 and ISO19277
2018-11-29 18:00 - 21:00
The meeting will take place on 29th of November, at the Rosen Group starting at 6pm for networking followed by a presentation / discussion at 6.30pm delivered by Neil Wilds, a thought leader in coatings for corrosion under insulation.
Neil has 32yrs experience in Coatings Industry working on high solids epoxies/ testing and CUI/Insulation Coatings. Currently Technical Marketing Manager for Sherwin Williams and a committee member on TG516 Standard Practice for Evaluating Protective Coatings for Use Under Insulation.
Presentation Overview:
There have been many iterations of test methods from coatings’ companies over the last 10-15 yrs looking at prequalification of CUI coatings. To a large extent this has not been standardised and accepted by the major Oil & Gas end users. Therefore over the last 3-4 years two CUI test method/prequalification standards have been worked on to solve this issue. This presentation will go through these tests methods and will hopefully raise some good conversation which can then be taken back to the standards committees.

Pipework Corrosion Prediction and Reality
2019-01-10 18:00 - 20:00 | Imperial College, Skempton Building, London SW7 2BB, Skempton Building, London, SW7 2BB
We are pleased to announce that the speaker at the January the 10th meeting at Imperial College will be Dr Patricia Conder of Sonomatic. She will be giving a talk on internal corrosion of pipework. as we all know this can be patchy and unpredictable on a small scale and although corrosion predictions for pipework focus on morphology, rate and likelihood, the spatial distribution is not generally considered. Inspection of pipework typically covers a small proportion of overall area, utilising manual ultrasonic inspection and radiography. The effectiveness of the inspection being determined by the “Find It First” challenge.
If and when corrosion is found, a local corrosion rate is generated for an individual location and there is a “Bottom-Up” integrity response. This talk looks at the advantages of taking a fresh look at the results of pipework inspection from a “Top-Down” viewpoint and how this can improve the understanding of corrosion manifestations, and impact on future inspection to make it more effective and efficient.
Come along to the meeting on the 10th of January doors in the Skempton Building open at 6 pm, the evening offers refreshments and great networking opportunities to members and non members alike.

ICorr President Talk - How can the Institute of Corrosion adapt to thrive in a rapidly changing world?
2019-03-14 18:00 - 21:00 | Imperial College, Skempton Building, London SW7 2BB, Skempton Building, London, SW7 2BB
Bio
Dr Gareth Hinds is NPL Fellow and Science Area Leader in the Electrochemistry Group at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). His primary expertise is in the development of novel in situ diagnostic techniques and standard test methods for assessment of corrosion and material degradation in energy applications. Gareth has a strong track record of delivering innovative solutions to engineering problems with demonstrable impact on industry in a range of sectors, including oil and gas, power generation and electrochemical energy conversion and storage. He is the author of over 150 publications and is currently serving a two year term as President of the Institute of Corrosion.
Summary
Like many professional societies, the Institute of Corrosion faces an ongoing challenge to communicate and deliver tangible benefits to its members. At the same time, the world is changing at an unprecedented rate, driven by a growing awareness of the environmental impact of fossil fuels, population growth and rapid technological innovation. This talk will provide an overview of the external factors that could have a major influence on shaping the future of the Institute, including the transition to low carbon energy, the digital revolution, the growing generational gap and the UK Industrial Strategy. It is critical that the Institute anticipates the need to adapt to these drivers and establish a clear strategy to ensure its future sustainability. A number of potential ideas will be explored during the talk and opened to the floor for discussion.
