EUROPEAN FEDERATION OF CORROSION EUROPÄISCHE FÖDERATION KORROSION Published by the European Federation of Corrosion, London, UK

In a break from tradition, the EFC Newsletter did not appear last year because of the indisposition of the editor. This issue, therefore, covers progress over the past two years since Number 15 appeared in September 2005. The intervening period has been one of great change for the EFC, especially with regard to its involvement on the international scene. In particular, the Federation has recently re-written its Statutes to admit “International Members”, i.e. Corrosion Societies located beyond the conventional boundaries of Europe, as defined by states which are full members of the Council of Europe. This means that all non-profit scientific and technical societies and organisations devoted to the advancement of the science of corrosion and of the protection of materials are now very welcome to become full members of the EFC. This change in policy has already resulted in the admission of two corrosion societies from Israel to the EFC fold. Other non-European societies are encouraged to approach EFC’s Frankfurt Secretariat for details of how to join the EFC ([email protected]). A second major development is that EFC has become a founder member of the newly formed World Corrosion Organisation (WCO), based in New York. This rapidly-growing organisation has amongst its primary aims those of increasing worldwide public and political awareness of corrosion, harmonising standards, identifying world best practices in corrosion management, and providing corrosion control expertise to governments, industry and communities. Read on for more information on these and other developments in EFC. Edinburgh, Scotland is

the venue for EUROCORR 2008 on 7-11 September 2008.With the overall theme “Managing Corrosion for Sustainability” it will take place as EFC Event No, 299. The EFC Congress Office in Frankfurt is organising the event, which will be hosted by ICorr and IoMMM. For more information: www.eurocorr.org

Message from Michael Schütze, President of both EFC and WCO, on the occasion of EUROCORR 2007 Corrosion is a process that takes place in a tiny world of atoms and molecules but affects the “real” world to a frequently unrecognised extent. Most often in the past the public has associated corrosion with rusting cars, and as the progress of corrosion protection during recent years has solved the prob-lem of rust on cars, peoples’ awareness of corrosion has r, new technologies and increaenvironment and human heamaterial resources require protection than ever before.

Task groups are presently being formed to prepare the necessary steps to achieve these goals. Through the foundation of the WCO, the topic of corrosion protection has received a global voice with impact on political, economic and societal decision makers. The major driving force behind the formation of the WCO is NACE’s Past President George Hays who, together with his successors, Neil Thompson, David Webster and Lou Vincent, patiently promoted this development over the last few years. George now serves as the Director General of the WCO and the operational heart of the organization. EFC has become an active participant in the work of the WCO and

As EFC President I am very pleased with this close interaction between Europe and the USA, helping us to find joint solutions and creating a common basis for our work and for the mutual exchange of expertise complementing each other’s competences. I think that as corrosionists we are on a good way of extending our thinking from the microcosm of corrosion reactions to the macrocosm of the effect of corrosion protection on the global society. We should all endeavour to make corrosion protection a paragon of international collaboration where everybody taking part can only benefit. Michael Schütze, President of EFC and WCO

Message from Lou Vincent, President of NACE International on the Occasion of EUROCORR 2007

It is both an honour and a pleasure for me to follow in the footsteps of George Hays, Dave Webster, and Neil Thompson in NACE’s efforts to cooperate with member societies of the European Federation of Corrosion (EFC) to support the research into corrosion mechanisms as well as formalizing practical solutions to those corrosion mechanisms. Corrosion control is a worldwide problem that costs facility and structure owners in excess of US$1.8 trillion per year. The solutions to these problems do not reside in any particular country or company within a country. There are some very intelligent and innovative researchers and practitioners working on their individual problems in every country in the world. EFC and NACE are natural partners to bring this expertise into focus at such conferences as EUROCORR where everyone can share in the progress as it applies to their own needs. NACE’s role as a founding member of the World Corrosion Organization (WCO), along with the EFC, Australasian Corrosion Association, and Chinese Society for Corrosion and Protection is a prime example of the value of such cooperative efforts. Following are examples of these collegial efforts:

• Joint Task Groups are being formed between NACE and EFC, i.e.

• NACE C1 Technology Management

Group which is primarily focused on Coatings and Linings is involved in discussions on how to move forward with the comparable Working Party from EFC.

• NACE TG 361 was formed in 2007 to

review EFC and NACE documents related to cooling water applications, with an objective to provide industry with one or more documents to be jointly published by EFC and NACE.

• NACE RPO 198-2004 The Control of Corrosion Under Thermal Insulation and Fireproofing Materials-A Systems Approach is very similar to a document prepared by EFC Working Party 13 and Working Party 15. Discussions are underway on how to best assimilate these two documents.

Lou Vincent

• NACE and EFC officers are working on a plan for simultaneous publication of research papers by both NACE and EFC members. The intent is that this could become a central point for publication of research efforts on a worldwide basis.

• A movement is underway to sponsor a

World Corrosion Awareness Day. This idea received unanimous support at the General Assembly of the WCO held in Nashville during the NACE Conference and Exposition on March 15, 2007.

• Joint NACE ISO standards are beginning

to be published, i.e.,

MR0175/ISO 15156 Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries- Materials for use in H2S containing environments in Oil and Gas Production, and

RP0300/ISO 16784 Corrosion of Metals and Alloys - Corrosion and Fouling in industrial cooling water systems, Part 1.

• Other societies such as the Libyan

Corrosion Society, the Saudi Engineering Council, CAMPI, ICorr, CERC, Lithuania, Kuwait, MTI and SSPC have indicated enthusiastic support for cooperation among corrosion societies on a global scale by becoming General Members of WCO. A number of additional societies are considering joining in this effort.

From the NACE viewpoint, we are especially grateful to Dr. Michael Schütze, President of the EFC and President of WCO for his leadership of the EUROCORR 2007 conference in Freiberg, Germany September 9-13th, 2007. NACE will be represented by current President Lou Vincent, Vice President Bob Herbert, and Past Presidents Dave Webster and George Hays. NACE is committed to being a strong partner with EFC and WCO. Lou Vincent, President of NACE International

EUROCORR 2005 took place in Lisbon on 4-8 September 2005 as Event Number 273 of the European Federation of Corrosion (EFC). This was the first European Corrosion Congress ever to have been held in Portugal since these events first took place in 1956. It turned out to be one of the best attended in the series, with a grand total of 691 registrants of whom 119 were students. The delegates represented fifty different countries, among which the top ten places were occupied by France (106), Portugal (92), Germany (49), Spain (45), United Kingdom (42), USA (35), Brazil (26), Italy (26), The Netherlands (23) and Belgium (20). The conference was organised by the Portuguese Society of Materials, SPM, which is one of the EFC's newest member societies, and it has to be said that it made an excellent job of the arrangements. The venue was the Congress Centre of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), which is part of the Technical University of Lisbon. Located in the central part of Lisbon, and only a few kilometres away from Lisbon international airport, it could not have been in a more convenient location and provided ample accommodation for seven or eight parallel sessions throughout the week.

IST in Lisbon, Venue of EUROCORR 2005

2005 was a very special year for the EFC because it marked its 50th anniversary, an event that was commemorated in several ways during the conference. To begin with, when registration began on Sunday 4th September, full registrants were delighted to find in their delegate bags a handsome commemorative EUROCORR 2005 plaque to celebrate the Golden Anniversary. This

was very appropriately embossed with the Pourbaix diagram for the iron-water system at ambient temperature. Visitors to the EFC Stand in the exhibition were able to collect a copy of the special anniversary edition of the EFC Newsletter, which is also available for downloading from the EFC Website (www.efcweb.org). In addition, many of the EFC Working Party chairmen had prepared lectures which were given during the technical sessions of the conference to record developments in their fields during the past 50 years and the role that their Working Parties had played in these. After registration had closed at 6 pm on 4th September, the first social event of the conference began, with a reception in the Exhibition Hall, where everyone was served with welcoming cocktails. This continued at full strength for two hours before people began to drift away to explore the beautiful city of Lisbon at night. The Opening Ceremony began promptly at 9 am on 5th September in the main auditorium at IST, which was packed to the gunwales. An introductory welcome was given by Dr Fátima Montemor, a co-chairperson of the Local Organising Committee, who acted as the MC for the Ceremony. She introduced Professor Mário Ferreira, President of the Organising Committee, who added his welcome and emphasised the broad impact of corrosion on our daily lives, affecting all sectors and incurring direct and indirect costs equating to 3½ – 4 % of GDP each year.

Ir. Antoine Pourbaix, Vice-President of the EFC, then spoke on behalf of its President, Professor Björn Linder, who, unfortunately, was unable to be present. Reflecting on the 50th Anniversary of the Federation, Ir. Pourbaix presented a brief overview of its history and activities. He stated that the founders of the EFC had a special vision to create an asssembly bringing together countries from east and west Europe. Professor Dieter Behrens of DECHEMA e.V. in Frankfurt was the man behind this vision. From the outset, many countries belonged to the EFC, which now encompasses almost the whole of Europe. A strong point of the EFC is its Working Parties which permit dialogue between scientists and people from industry. These are mainly responsible for its success. This was illustrated by two examples. Firstly, since 1955, the whole development of civilian nuclear power has taken place. EFC WP4 had provided an open forum for the discussion of every problem throughout that period, from Corriou's original observation of intergranular stress corrosion of Inconel 600 to the more recent concerns over the disposal of nuclear waste and effective discussions on inspection, maintenance and safety. Secondly, WP13, founded by Dr Liane Smith of Intertech, UK, had succeeded in bringing together people from all of the major oil companies for the open discussion of matters which had hitherto been treated as confidential. This had resulted in improved safety and reliability as well as financial savings in the industry. Other achievements of the EFC had included the EUROCORR series of conferences, the publication of a highly regarded series of books, and the development of its website (www.EFCweb.org). Prospects for the future include extending its membership to fill in the map of Europe and beyond, strengthening its influence on public authorities, sharing more activities, such as publications, education and training with its Member Societies, and the organisation of conferences on present day problems. The list of tasks was enormous and the available human resources were too small so there was a need for more people to become involved. Following his talk, it was time for the Vice-President to present the European Corrosion Medal for 2005 to Professor Dieter Landolt of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland. This is the Federation's highest award and is presented to recognise achievements by a scientist, or group of scientists, from an EFC country in the application of corrosion science in the widest sense. In his response, Prof. Landolt said what a great honour it was receive the award, which consists of a large bronze medal, a certificate and €1,000. He said that over the years he had participated in many EFC activities during

Dieter Landolt (left) receiving the European

Corrosion Medal from Antoine Pourbaix

which time a few ideas had guided his thinking. Corrosion science is at the crossroads between materials science, electrochemistry, surface science and engineering. This made it an attractive field to have worked in, but at the same time a demanding one. Fundamental research had played an important role in his work, and he paid tribute to his co-workers and PhD students at EPFL who had done much of the work. They had collaborated with a number of industries to address problems with heavy machinery, chemicals, biomedical implants, automobiles and others. The techniques used had included electrochemistry and the use of surface science methods such as Auger electron spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy and imaging mass spectroscopy to characterise the upper layers of metals, including passive films. The use of preferential sputtering allowed matrix effects to be studied also. More recently, an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) had been used to measure mass changes equivalent to a fraction of one atomic layer and both rotating disc and ring disc EQSMs had been developed. Another aspect of his work had been directed at tribo-corrosion, which occurs when the passive layer is removed from metals by rubbing. This can cause alloys that are normally resistant to corrosion to become susceptible to serious attack. Most research has been aimed at modelling the combined effects of tribology and corrosion. It is known that the acceleration of the corrosion rate depends on material parameters but much work remains to be done in this area. For many years, the group at EPFL had also studied fundamental aspects of electropolishing and electrochemical machining. They had demonstrated that a well defined surface structure can be generated on a micron scale through the use of photo-resist masks. In concluding, Professor Landolt stated that corrosion science

in the widest sense is an exciting field which is likely to grow further in view of the trend towards ever smaller dimensions. The next item on the agenda was the Plenary Lecture. This was presented by Professor Robert Wei of Lehigh University, Bethlehem, USA, who is now nearing retirement after a long and famous career as a proponent of the role of hydrogen embrittlement in environmentally assisted cracking of metals and alloys. His talk was entitled "The Need for Mechanistically Based Modelling in Life Prediction and Reliability Analysis". This focussed on the importance of transferring scientific understanding to practical applications

Professor Robert Wei

Professor Wei explained that material ageing, i.e. the evolution and distribution of damage, is a principal cause of the reduction of availability and margins of safety of engineered systems. It impacts on both availability and performance and life cycle costs. Current design methodologies are largely experience-based but there is now a need to predict the behaviour of nuclear waste storage facilities over the next 10,000 years based on tests that last a matter of months. However, it is not even safe to extrapolate to 10 years on the basis of data accumulated over six months. This makes it necessary to use modelling by means of probabilistic estimations of damage accumulation over the course of service. These require the establishment of damage functions based on external variables such as stress and environment as well as the material parameters that make the structural alloy "tick". This science-based approach needs the key external and internal variables to be identified. The damage function is then determined by means of Monte Carlo simulation to make predictions based on regressive methods. The example was quoted of a corroded aircraft which suffered sudden decompression at 40,000 feet when the roof blew off. Fortunately, it landed safely but with the loss of one

person. This happened because it had been the practice to paint over blistered fastener holes on the plane. The failure stimulated a 10-year programme on the corrosion of aluminium alloys during which there was pressure to stop the work because people were being scared. The results showed that the damage function was being increased by several orders of magnitude due to corrosion, which led to the initiation of fatigue cracks at corrosion pits in rivet holes. This problem had first been recognised by H. J. Gough and D. G. Sopwith, who showed the impact of corrosion pitting on fatigue as long ago as 1932. Nevertheless, the tendency had been for the corrosion community to use smooth samples to look for a reduction of the threshold stress. On the other hand, the fracture community uses pre-cracked specimens to measure crack growth rates, the presence of the pre-crack making the nucleation time negligible. In practice, pitting takes care of the early stages of damage and, once initiated, environmental effects increase crack growth rates, both effects leading to the reduction of fatigue life. In the case of aluminium, the initial damage is associated with constituent particles. Professor Wei illustrated this process with a video film of pit initiation in aluminium alloy 2024 T3 exposed to 0.5 M chloride solution at pH 6.5. Pitting on the longitudinal-short transverse surface initiated at a row of 10 µm diameter surface particles and was accompanied by the evolution of hydrogen gas. A dome of corrosion product could be seen to form on a pit within which the anodic process continued to occur. This was a relatively rapid process; the film condensed 500 hours of corrosion into 5 minutes.

The Main Auditorium at IST

Modelling of the process assumed that the initial pit was hemispherical and then took account of clusters of particles on the pit surface which maintained an essentially constant pitting rate. The criterion assumed for a fatigue crack to develop at the pit was firstly that the stress intensity factor range associated with the pit, ∆Kpit, had to exceed the


_________________________________________________________________________________________

7

threshold stress intensity factor range for fatigue, ∆Kth, and, simultaneously, that the rate of fatigue crack growth ( ) fcgdtda had to exceed the rate of pit growth ( )pitdtda . By integrating the number of cycles associated with pitting and the number of cycles associated with crack growth, the number of cycles to failure can be estimated. Monte Carlo simulations were used to predict the development of damage over time for a Boeing 707 after 24 years in service. The pit initiating particles of interest are Al7Cu2Fe and Al3Fe. Copper-containing particles behave as copper particles once corrosion takes place. The Al7Cu2Fe is anodic to the matrix and gives a current density of -200 µA cm-2 to promote dissolution. There are 2,000 particles per square millimetre on the surface and the clustering of particles in three dimensions presents a challenge. Increased cracking rates are associated with a change in crack path from the 001 plane to the 011 plane associated somehow with the effects of hydrogen to which fracture is attributed by a mechanism that is not yet understood. More work will be needed to but one thing is clear: the need to transfer empiricism into science-based methodology. This ended the Opening Session and, following a break for

coffee, the scientific sessions and workshops commenced. The scientific sessions had been organised by the International Scientific Committee for EUROCORR 2005, chaired jointly by Professor Ferreira and Dr. Jörg Vogelsang, Chairman of EFC's Science and Technology Advisory Committee. There were seventeen scientific sessions relating to the different topics covered by the EFC Working Parties that had been organised by their chairmen, two of which were joint sessions, plus an eighteenth that addressed the corrosion and protection of steel structures and was organised by the chairman of EFC Task Force 2. In addition, the organisers of the conference had arranged ten special workshops on various subjects ranging from Heritage Preservation to Corrosion Issues in Future Nuclear Systems and including topics such as Corrosion Control in the Aeronautical Industry and the Reliability of Polymer Piping Installations. Altogether, the programme contained 409 oral lectures and 109 poster presentations, The total number of manuscripts included on the CD-ROM amounted to 404 (including both oral and poster presentations. Brief reports of the sessions have been published in Corrosion Engineering, Science and Technology (Vol.41 (2006) issue 1, pp 1-19; issue 2, pp 101-109; issue 3, pp 183-189; and issue 4, pp 277-282.

Over 600 delegates came to this conference, which took place on 25-28 September 2006 in the MECC Congress Centre, Maastricht, The Netherlands. It followed the usual EUROCORR format of parallel oral sessions over three and a half days, and a poster session,

It was organised on behalf of the EFC by the Netherlands Corrosion Centre (NCC), assisted by Professor Hans de

Wit, who was closely involved with the scientific and technical programme, while Miriam Notten helped with other organisational aspects.

Hans de Wit and Miriam Notten

This was the third time that NCC had hosted a EUROCORR conference, the previous occasions having both been in Utrecht, in 1989 and 1998. However 2006 was a special year for NCC since it coincided with its 50th anniversary.

For EUROCORR 2006, the focus was on “Reliability Management of Technical Systems” and the hot topic was

“Corrosion of Polymer Materials”. Some 275 oral presentations were listed in the programme, together with 59 posters. The delegate list included 672 people from 51 different countries. The social programme included a Treasure Hunt/Pub Quiz Evening, and the Conference Dinner, which was held in a large underground cave system.

At the Conference Dinner

All seventeen of the EFC Working Parties arranged technical sessions and in addition there were joint sessions on: Inhibition/Oil and Gas; Marine/Oil and Gas/CP; Inhibition/Refineries; Coatings/CP; and Steel in Concrete/CP. There were also special workshops that had been organised by NCC on Asset Management Control including Support Management and the Aesthetics of Corrosion as well as a NACE meeting. At the opening ceremony the EFC Cavallaro medal was awarded to Professor George Thompson of the Corrosion and Protection Centre at the University of Manchester. He gave a very incisive talk entitled “New Insights into Surface Treatment of Aluminium Alloys”. This stressed the importance of porous anodic films in providing wear resistance, corrosion resistance, hardness and good appearance. Professor Thompson described the work of his group in understanding the growth of these films. This includes the flow model, in which the anodic oxide flows

Professor George Thompson

under stress in the presence of an electric field, leading to expansion of the anodic oxide relative to the oxidised metal. Professor Thompson showed how tungsten tracers could be used to follow the anodising process in electrolytes such as sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid. These points were illustrated with excellent ultramicrotome TEM pictures.

The Kurt Schwabe prize is awarded every three years to an outstanding researcher under the age of 35 and at EUROCORR 2006 it was awarded to Tomas Prosek from the French Corrosion Institute, near Paris. He gave a talk on “Atmospheric Corrosion of Carbon Steel and Zinc in the Presence of Different Chloride Deposits” - specifically the effect of cations, showing how for zinc, more chloride forms in the presence of magnesium than forms with sodium. The order is reversed by calcium, and particularly magnesium, suppressing carbonate formation on zinc. One interesting snippet was that Kurt Schwabe had supervised over 300 PhD students!

Thomas Prosek

The third plenary lecture, by Ir. Jacko Aerts from DSM Corporate of the Netherlands, was on “Reliability Management of Technical systems”. This was an interesting talk showing how importantly corrosion is viewed by the management of a processing facility. The conference was generally well organised but one point that deserves mention is that not all of the papers on the CD-ROM of the proceedings are in the usual .pdf format (in fact most appear as Word documents. Nonetheless there is a very good variety among the 295 papers and posters included on it and many of them are of a high standard. Once again the poster session seemed to be the poor relation (posters were up and down very quickly!). Reports on the conference have appeared in issues 1, 2 and 3 of Corrosion Engineering, Science and Technology Vol. 42 (2007), pp. 6-11, 92-98, and 185-190, respectively. Douglas Mills

REPORT ON THE 11th ALL-POLISH CORROSION SYMPOSIUM "New Achievements in Corrosion Research and Engineering"

The 11th Corrosion Symposium "New Achievements in Corrosion Research and Engineering" took place in the Congress and Holiday Centre "Orle Gniazdo" ("Eagle’s Nest") in Szczyrk, near Bielsko-Biala from 23rd to 25th November 2005 (EFC Event No. 288). The Symposium attracted 120 participants both from academic/scientific institutions and from industry. Most of participants were Polish. The guests from abroad were not only from Europe but also from such distant countries as USA, Saudi Arabia

The Orle Gniazdo Congress Centre

or Kuwait. The official languages were Polish and English (without simultaneous translation).

Fifty-nine original contributions (full papers) were presented during the Symposium (25% in the English language). The Symposium Proceedings (A special issue of the Polish Corrosion Journal - Ochrona przed Korozjq Nr 11s/A, 2005) contain 53 papers. The book was co-financed by the Polish Ministry of National Education. Two plenary lectures have appeared in ordinary number (Nr 11/2005) of the Journal. All papers were reviewed by the referee staff (14 professors). Both volumes were available for participants on registration. The rest of the papers presented during Symposium (4 papers) were to be considered for publication in future issues of Ochrona przed Korozjq.

Among the five parallel general oral sessions, one was the English language session entitled: New challenges in Corrosion Research and Materials Protection. The key-note lecture of this session was presented by distinguished professor S. Szklarska-Smialowska. Two evening social events were included in the Symposium program: a Welcome Reception (23rd November) and a Beer Party (24th November). A Round Table Discussion (25th November) summarized the debates and produced new suggestions and proposals for the Organizing Committee. Participants emphasized high scientific level of the Symposium and the perfect organization of the event. Professor Henryk Bala Symposium Chairman

Properties of Steel Construction Surfaces Affecting Corrosion Resistance Helsinki University of Technology, Espoo, Finland, 28-31 May, 2006. EFC Event No. 296.

The aim of this Workshop on the Properties of Steel Construction Surfaces Affecting Corrosion Resistance was to discuss and exchange knowledge concerning the protection of existing and future steel constructions. This was a result of activity within chemistry, electrochemistry and materials science. Keeping structures in good condition during lengthy service requires a multidisciplinary way of thinking. Prof. Kazimierz Darowicki of Gdansk Universty of Technology (Chairman of EFC Task Force II, and Prof. Olof Forsén of Helsinki University of Technology, were the organizers of the Workshop. Dr. Zbigniew Klenowicz

from Gdansk University of Technology, Dr. Jari Aromaa and Dr. Antero Pehkonen, both from the Helsinki University of Technology, were the Scientific Secretaries. The symposium was opened by Kari Heiskanen, Dean of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the welcoming address was given by John Makhubalo, Director of the OPCW/International Cooperation and Assistance Division. The symposium consisted of fifteen presentations from six countries. The total number of participants was fifty-two of whom sixteen were from abroad.

REPORT ON THE 3RD (ISRAEL) INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: CORROSION, ADVANCED MATERIALS & PROCESSES IN INDUSTRY

29-31 MAY, 2007, BEER SHEVA, ISRAEL

Sami Shamoon College of Engineering

The venue for the conference was the futuristic Sami Shamoon College of Engineering, where CAMPI is based. About 250 delegates, of whom more than 10 % were from other countries, took part in the meeting during which over seventy papers were presented in up to four parallel sessions. In addition there were twenty five poster presentations, with prizes for the top three entries. The conference included two plenary sessions, the first of which opened with a talk by George Hays of the World Corrosion Organisation, based in New York, and entitled “Now is the Time”, in which the need for everyone to get together and act in order to decide where we need to go and how we are going to get there. He estimated that on the basis of American experience, with a GDP of US $166 billion, the direct cost to Israel of corrosion must amount to more than US $5 billion per year. Scope exists to reduce this by between 20 and 25 percent by implementing current knowledge more effectively. The World Corrosion Organisation, in which Israel is represented on the Board

The Lecture Theatre

of Administrators by Amir Eliezer, President of CAMPI, aims to promote education and best practice in corrosion control on a global basis. Now is the time to make governments aware of the high costs of corrosion and to work together to protect our resources and planet and assure the quality of life of our children and grandchildren. Other plenary talks included ones by Rolf Gubner, Chairman of EFC WP10 (Microbial Corrosion) on the accelerated corrosion of steel sheet piles in marine environments and another by the EFC Scientific Secretary about recent developments in that organisation. Also, Vinod Agarwala of the US Office of Naval Research gave a very interesting talk about corrosion in the military, which costs US $20 billion per year in the United States. Stefano Trasatti of Milan University ended the second plenary session with an excellent talk about how neural networks can help us to solve corrosion related problems. All in all, it was a first-class conference, superbly organised by Amir Eliezer and his colleagues.

PROPOSED NEW EFC WORKING PARTY: "Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Drinking Water Systems"

Under the auspices of GfKORR – the Society for Corrosion Protection, based in Frankfurt, Dr. Wilhelm Erning has proposed the establishment of a new EFC working party entitled "Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Drinking Water Systems".

Dr. Wilhelm Erning

Motivation Drinking Water is the central part of human nutrition and its purity without risks to health is essential for human life. Huge technical effort is employed to collect, purify and distribute drinking water to virtually every household in Europe and other developed countries. Many different materials are in use for the various components within drinking water systems. Some of them have been ruled out nowadays like lead, but may be still present in some installations, others are new materials like polymers. Some installations are near to or at the end of their life and have to be replaced, others are quite new. The use of different materials, different ways of installations or different repair methods as well as additional water conditioning methods e.g. disinfection or simply insufficient maintenance can lead to corrosion problems. Corrosion of drinking water systems is a major issue which can affect the purity of the water and thus also the health of the consumer, which also can affect the structural integrity of buildings and finally may lead to tremendous water losses. The proposed working party will aim to use the European network of experts to collect the present understanding in the field of corrosion of drinking water installations, identify the needs for further research, both in basics and application, evaluate existing testing methods, promote new investigation methods, and foster normative work on an international basis.

The working party will devote its future activity to the following topics: Research - Identification of the most important fields for further research and development. - Improvement of the understanding of the failure mechanisms specific for the different materials used in drinking water installations, where appropriate cooperation with other EFC Working Parties is intended. Investigation and Testing - Evaluation and optimization of existing and new methods for investigation and testing of the corrosion resistance of materials. - Emphasis will be put on the evaluation and further development of short term testing for lifetime prediction. Knowledge transfer - Review, systematization and dissemination of the state-of-the-art of corrosion resistance and application limits of the respective materials. - Organization of workshops, seminars, and symposia with respect to basic understanding and industrial application. This will include failure analysis and repair strategies. The first workshop on corrosion and corrosion protection in drinking water installations took place during EUROCORR 2007, on September 13, in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. The EFC Science and Technology Committee (the STAC) has already indicated its support for the new working party. However, support must also be obtained from EFC Member Societies in at least four different countries and this is currently being sought. Final approval for the new working party, which is expected to become EFC WP20, will be sought from the EFC General Assembly at its next meeting in Edinburgh during September 2008. For further information, please contact: Dr. rer. nat. Johan Wilhelm Erning Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing Unter den Eichen 87 12205 Berlin Germany tel: +49 30 8104-1733 e-mail: [email protected]
