A21 NACE INTERNATIONAL: VOL. 55, NO. 10 MATERIALS PERFORMANCE OCTOBER 2016 Research Symposia Monday, March 27 Passivity and Localized Corrosion – Atmospheric (Day 1) This RIP session features papers concerning recent research involving passivity and localized corrosion in all forms (including mechanisms of passivation, breakdown, pitting, crevice corrosion, intergranular attack, and any applications thereof). Contributions highlighting alloys and treatments to improve passivity and resistance to localized corrosion as well as papers describing novel and innovative approaches for studying these areas are welcome. This two-day session will include papers that emphasize atmospheric corrosion as well as those that emphasize aqueous corrosion. Chair: David Enos Vice Chair: David Kolman Environmental Assisted Cracking – Research in Progress This RIP session features papers that focus on all aspects of environment assisted cracking, with a specific focus on, but not limited to, cracking of stainless steels, magnesium, aluminum, and nickel alloys. Studies related to the resistance of materials to the initiation and growth of cracks during stress corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue are included. In addition, studies related to the development of novel techniques to monitor crack initiation and growth, including pit-to-crack transition, testing protocols/ environments, and life prediction models are featured. Focus is on the most current results and research in progress. Chair: Jenifer Locke Vice Chair: Brendy Rincon Troconis Tuesday, March 28 Corrosion and Reliability of Infrastructure, A Symposium Honoring the 50 Year Career of Dr. Joe H. Payer Corrosion of our infrastructure occurs on a daily basis and its costs have been well documented in the joint NACE International/U.S. Federal Highway Administration "Cost of Corrosion" study. This symposium will discuss the fundamental science and engineering at the core of infrastructure reliability including: SCC of ductile materials, crevice corrosion, corrosion modeling and damage evolution, lifetime prediction, and the extension of these principles to risk management in oil and gas, bridges, pipelines, nuclear waste disposal, aging aircraft, and ships and marine infrastructure. Chair: Scott Lillard Vice Chair: Kevin Garrity Passivity and Localized Corrosion – Aqueous (Day 2) This RIP session contains papers concerning recent research involving passivity and localized corrosion in all forms (including mechanisms of passivation, breakdown, pitting, crevice corrosion, intergranular attack, and any applications thereof). Contributions highlighting alloys and treatments to improve passivity and resistance to localized corrosion as well as papers describing novel and innovative approaches for studying these areas are included. This two-day session will include papers that emphasize atmospheric corrosion as well as those that emphasize aqueous corrosion. Chair: David Enos Vice Chair: David Kolman Emergent Materials This RIP session contains papers that provide fundamental insight p This RIP session contains papers that provide fundamental insight o This RIP session contains papers that provide fundamental insight into the processing-structure-corrosion performance relationships of emergent materials. Emergent materials of interest include nanocrystalline, amorphous, and high entropy alloys; nanolaminates; nanostructured coatings; additively manufactured metals; and composites. Contributions highlighting materials-by-design concepts and approaches for corrosion resistance are included. Chair: Rajeev Gupta Vice Chair: Eric Schindelholz Coatings and Inhibitors This RIP session will focus on presentations related to the performance and evolution mechanisms of coatings/inhibitors through chemical or electrochemical (corrosion) aspects, and the interrelationship between composition, processing/technique, microstructural/nanostructural features, and the test environment and coating/inhibitor performance. Approaches to design of improved coating materials and inhibitors and processes based on scientific and experimental data applied to harsh or aggressive environments will be discussed, as well as the latest developments of test methods considering the interplay between mechanical, chemical, and electrochemical interactions and the ability to predict performance in aggressive environments. Emphasis is on valid, accelerated performance tests and the relation between test technique and field performance data. High-performance coatings characterization in oxidizing and corrosive environments while exposed in corrosive applications are included, as well as current modeling aspects to predict properties, performance, durability, and reliability of coatings and/or inhibitors in aggressive environments. Chair: Homero Castaneda-Lopez Vice Chair: Kristen Williams Wednesday, March 29 Research Topical Symposium – Corrosion of Drinking Water Distribution Systems Degradation issues involving drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) have been pushed to the forefront of infrastructure issues because of the recent drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan. DWDS are complex environments that involve multiple metals and alloys; water sources with differing chemistries and microorganisms; and site-specific water treatment strategies. Papers on the following topics related to DWDS are featured: corrosion mechanisms for low alloy steels, copper, lead, and plastics; impact of water treatment chemistries on material degradation; and physiochemical properties of corrosion products and their relationship to water quality, microbiologically influenced corrosion, and corrosion mitigation. A panel discussion with all speakers will conclude the session. Chair: Jason Lee The Research Committee of NACE International is responsible for all research activities organized or sponsored by the association, including sponsorship of the Research in Progress (RIP) Symposium, Research Topical Symposium (RTS), and the Student Poster Session.
