The event is organized by CIDETEC Surface Engineering and is partially funded by the Horizon 2020 and Clean Sky 2 U-CROSS project, some of the results of which will also be presented at the event (see bottom of the web page for detailed project information).
Corrosion management is a major and transversal challenge for different industries worldwide. It has an impact on such important aspects as safety or durability of key assets of all sectors. Surveys estimate the worldwide annual direct cost of corrosion between €1.3 and €1.4 trillion.
Hence, different strategies have been implemented for decades to control and prevent corrosion (use of coatings, anodic/cathodic protections, periodic visual inspection and repair, etc.). In many cases the maintenance plan may be inappropriate because it is too extensive (and costly), or too light (and, therefore, risky).
Maintenance tasks could be more efficient by implementing corrosion monitoring procedures based on data provided by sensors. Corrosion monitoring is key to detect early warning signs of corrosion and to determine trends and processing operational parameters that may result in a corrosive environment. Additionally, it serves to measure the effectiveness of corrosion prevention methods.
Many techniques may be used to monitor and detect corrosion: Vibro-acoustics, electromagnetics, high-frequency imaging, electrochemical, capacitive, etc. Some of them are developed and adapted to many different applications, while others are exploited for specific applications or to detect a specific type of corrosion phenomenon. The workshop aims to show an overview of the non-destructive sensors used or under development in and for the main industries affected by corrosion as Infrastructures, Petrochemicals and Aerospace, together with methods to predict how corrosion will progress.
