Research in Progress (RIP) Symposium Sponsored by the NACE Research Committee, the Research in Progress Symposium (RIP) provides a forum for the presentation of information and ideas derived from current or recently completed basic research on select topics as well as opportunities for discussion of these presentations. The symposium includes both invited and contributed presentations. The RIP at CORROSION 2010 is chaired by John Beavers (DNV Columbus, Inc.), and the vice chair is Nick Birbilis (Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia). Five RIP sessions will be held: Session I: Localized Corrosion; Session II: The Corrosion Behavior of Biomedical Implant Materials; Session III: Passive Films; Session IV: Life Prediction; and Session V: Corrosion Modeling: Fundamentals and Applications. Deadline for submitting an abstract is December 1, 2009. Authors will be informed by December 15, 2009, if they have been accepted into the program. Maximum abstract length is 500 words. Session I This session will deal with all aspects of localized corrosion of passive metals such as stainless steel, Al alloys, Ni alloys, Ti alloys, etc. The localized corrosion phenomena of interest include pitting, crevice, intergranular, and exfoliation corrosion. Fundamental aspects of localized corrosion are of particular interest including initiation mechanisms, transition to stability, damage accumulation, inhibition, and modeling. Contributions should focus on the latest results and accomplishments. Session Chair: Gerald S. Frankel, The Ohio State University Click here to submit your abstract. Session II The long-term stability of biomedical materials is essential for the reliable performance of implant devices. The physical demands on the device in combination with the complex biological environment, material microstructure, and surface treatment all interact to effect the electrochemical properties of the implant alloy. This session will examine all aspects of implant alloy corrosion in in vitro, in vivo, or ex vivo environments. Research that seeks to develop the methods and understand the fundamental events that govern metallic implant corrosion are of particular interest. Material configurations and surface medications that produce general corrosion, localized corrosion, crevice corrosion, underfilm corrosion, galvanic corrosion, and tribo-corrosion in all implant environments are of interest. Contributions should focus on the latest results and accomplishments. Session Chair: Ray Taylor, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Click here to submit your abstract. Session III This will be a two-session mini-symposium devoted to the topic of passive films. Of particular interest are papers that address the following topics: (1) Structure and properties of passive films formed in high-temperature aqueous solutions. (2) Structure and properties of passive films formed in non-aqueous solutions. (3) Relationship between passive films and specific corrosion phenomena.* (4) Properties of passive films.** (5) Techniques for investigating the structure and composition of passive films. (6) Recent advances in modeling of passive films: structure, composition, and growth. Based on the response to this solicitation, four (or fewer) of the above-listed six topics will be selected to form the focus of the two sessions. *For example, relationship between a passive film and the alloyís susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking, pitting corrosion, or crevice corrosion. ** For example, electrochemical, optical, transport, solubility, electronic, and mechanical properties. Session Chair: Professor Thomas M. Devine Click here to submit your abstract. Session IV This half-day session will deal with current research on life prediction of structures or systems subject to various corrosion modes. We are especially interested in linking fundamental, mechanistic, or physics-based models to life prediction. However, papers addressing life prediction using statistical approaches, fuzzy-set/neural network modeling, or other semi-empirical modeling may also be submitted. Consistent with the theme of the symposium, papers should primarily address the latest research results. Session Chair: Narasi Sridhar, Det Norske Veritas Research & Innovation Click here to submit your abstract. Session V This session will feature talks describing the latest approaches to modeling corrosion at fundamental and applied levels. Talks discussing atomistic and deterministic phenomenological models for corrosion processes are especially encouraged. The session will focus on the use of models that provide fundamental insights as to the role of alloying agents, aggressive and passivating species, and the interplay between environmental and metallurgical factors in determining the corrosion response of a material. Contributions should focus on the latest results and accomplishments.
