2019 High Temperature Corrosion GRC/GRS
Abstract
The 2019 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Seminar (GRS) on High Temperature Corrosion will focus on scientific themes and approaches at the frontiers of our scientific understanding of phenomena associated with the exposure of materials to extremes of temperature and reactivity. The influence of microstructural and interfacial stability, reaction pathways in single- and multi-reactant systems, and fundamental processes all affect the growth and integrityof protective surface products. Hence daunting scientific challenges must be addressed to gain the understanding to develop and specify materials that surpass current performance limits of materials and to accurately predict lifetimes associated with specific environmental conditions. Such work is mission critical to the U.S. Navy since material reliability and durability under extreme high temperature environmental conditions often limit the performance of marine and aeronautical engines.Fundamental knowledge and associated modeling and engineering developments are essential in making progress towards solving the problems of high temperature materials corrosion. The GRC provides the ideal forum for scientific discourse and exchange of ideas. Research and development related to high temperature corrosion is technologically motivated by ever higher temperatures and pressures and more aggressive operating conditions, often driven by requirements to increase performance and/or energy efficiency, protect structures, and minimize environmental impact. Presentations will be invited from experienced and emerging scientists with expertise in the areasdescribed above, together with the application of advanced experimental and modeling approaches that hold the potential for establishing the fundamental parameters that control high temperature corrosion and associated material lifetimes. These presentations will be supplemented by posters on more specific topics related to similar themes. Ample time will be provided for programmed discussions as well as informal exchanges of information. These interactions will stimulate ideas and deepen the collective knowledge of promising new directions for high temperature corrosion science and associated materials development and protection. The 2019 GRC will be preceded by the High Temperature Corrosion Gordon Research Seminar for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to stimulate interest in this field.
