2017 High Temperature Corrosion Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar
Abstract
2017 High Temperature Corrosion Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar: The 2017 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Seminar (GRS) on High Temperature Corrosion focus on forefront scientific themes and approaches related to discovery and modelling of phenomena associated with the exposure of materials to extremes of temperature and reactivity. The understanding of the reactivity between functional or structural materials with their environment at high temperature needs to be taken into account in the design of new alloys, composites and systems. It allows the materials optimization and the quantitative prediction of their behavior and lifetime. High temperature corrosion is a complex science. All aspects of the phenomena need to be taken into account, including thermodynamics, transport phenomena, reaction kinetics, mechanical behavior and multiphysical couplings. Moreover, industrial applications often deal with complex gas mixtures, sometimes out of equilibrium, and complex materials with more than 10 chemical species and varying microstructures. Current issues include the understanding of corrosion mechanisms in aggressive environments including hot corrosion, carburization and metal dusting, corrosion in mixed oxidants, water vapor and supercritical fluids. Interactions with mechanical loading and other physical properties need to be assessed. The use of this knowledge in high temperature materials development, protection solutions -including coating developments-, time of life modelling and recycling solutions, building of databases and the prediction of corrosion behavior from many parameters in complex systems needs to be improved. New manufacturing processes, for example additive manufacturing, bring new areas of study. The development of new characterization and modelling tools allows opportunities to revisit older knowledge and to open new research areas. The objective of the conference is to present the most recent findings in the fundamental understanding of both simple and complex systems. The lecture speakers are chosen for their expertise, recent research advances and novelty of approach. The lectures are provided with extensive time for discussion in morning and evening, and the late afternoon and evening is for poster sessions. All stay in college dormitories, have meals together, and socialize during the free periods. This GRC format is particularly beneficial for young researchers because of the ready access to the leaders in the field from around the world. Moreover, the 2017 GRC will be preceded by the High Temperature Corrosion Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) for graduate students and postdoctoral scientists, in order to encourage early career researchers.
