Podcast Events

In the podcast, the interviewee discusses how native soil fungi can break down pipes and other non-metallic materials, threatening asset integrity while also offering an unexpected way to tackle the global issue of plastics and microplastics.

The speech examines how coating selection among epoxy, polyurethane, and polyurea technologies directly affects long-term costs, maintenance intervals, and asset reliability in water and wastewater infrastructure. Attendees learn to integrate coating performance data into asset management frameworks to optimize CapEx-versus-OpEx trade-offs and extend infrastructure service life.

Professor Yolanda Hedberg discusses implant corrosion, examining how joint implants interact with the body and the complications that may affect patients.

Corrosion protection is shifting from maintenance to business value, exposing hidden costs while powder coatings extend asset life and performance.

The podcast explores how simulation tools can advance corrosion analysis and the design of protective systems. Attendees gain practical insight into modeling electrochemical reactions, electrolyte transport, sacrificial anodes, and impressed-current systems, with a live demonstration of the COMSOL Corrosion Module's key capabilities.
