A20 OCTOBER 2017 MATERIALS PERFORMANCE NACE INTERNATIONAL: VOL. 56, NO. 10 Research Symposia MONDAY, APRIL 16 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 will be covered based on scientific and experimental data applied to harsh or aggressive environments. The latest development of test methods will be discussed, considering the interplay between mechanical, chemical, and electrochemical interactions and the ability to predict performance in aggressive environments. The emphasis will be on valid, accelerated performance tests and the relation between test technique and field performance data. The discussion will include high-performance coatings characterization in oxidizing and corrosive environments while exposed in corrosive applications, 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: Ivan Karayan Emergent Materials This RIP session will focus on presentations 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; and additively manufactured metals and composites. Contributions highlighting materials-by- design concepts and approaches for corrosion resistance are encouraged. Chair: Rajeev Gupta Vice Chair: Eric Schindelholz Pits, Crevices, and Cracks This RIP session will focus on presentations that deal with all aspects of localized damage of passivating metals, including (but not limited to) stainless steel, Al alloys, Ni alloys, and conventional or newly developing corrosion-resistant alloys (CRAs). The localized corrosion phenomena of interest include pitting, crevice, intergranular, and exfoliation corrosion. Fundamental aspects of localized corrosion including initiation mechanisms, transition to stability, and damage accumulation are of particular interest. Additionally, papers related to environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) phenomena, such as stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, and hydrogen embrittlement, are also welcome. There is special interest on future anticipated needs in designing and maintaining systems to avoid EAC, and theoretical and experimental approaches to studying and predicting failure by EAC. Contributions highlighting novel and innovative approaches for studying any of these areas are welcome. Work should focus on the latest results and research currently in progress. Chair: Brendy Rincon Troconis Vice Chair: Jenifer Locke TUESDAY, APRIL 17 Corrosion and Biocompatibility of Biomedical Alloys and Implant Devices This RIP session will focus on presentations that examine all aspects of corrosion and degradation pertaining to implant alloys as well as device interaction with the surrounding biological environment. Topics of interest include mechanisms of corrosion or degradation of materials as a result of the interaction of implants with the host tissue; surface treatment of materials to inhibit corrosion or enhance biocompatibility; in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo testing methods; development of new alloys, devices, and constructs; implantation procedures and lifetime predictions and material/device monitoring, etc. Presentations will focus on the latest results and accomplishments. Chair: Vilupanur Ravi Vice Chair: Travis Voorhees Modeling & Simulation This RIP session will focus on presentations related to the development of state-of-the-art modeling for different kinds of corrosion mechanisms. Contributions on the latest development of models considering the mechanistic interplay between mechanical, chemical, and electrochemical interactions and the ability to predict material performance or damage accumulation in aggressive environments are of particular interest. The presentations should make emphasis on validation, by either experimental or field-testing, as well as on detailing the mathematical approaches considered for the modeling from a mechanistic perspective. Presentations considering stochastical methods for modeling complex systems are encouraged. Chair: Raymundo Case Vice Chair: Jing Ning WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18 Corrosion Lifetime Prediction, in memory of Roger W. Staehle Roger Staehle was a proponent of using fundamental knowledge of corrosion mechanism to inform component and system design and enable intelligent lifetime prediction. This symposium will celebrate the contributions of Roger Staehle by presenting state-of-the-art concepts as they apply to a number of industries, including nuclear power generation, nuclear waste storage, pipeline integrity, and aerospace. Co-chairs: Gerald Frankel, John Scully, and Narasi Sridhar 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.
