Corrosion Events in Austria

This technical seminar focuses on safeguarding corrosion-sensitive materials with coatings and coverings. Participants learn corrosion fundamentals, evaluate conventional and advanced protection systems, and understand application processes. Topics include organic and inorganic coatings, metallic layers such as zinc and aluminum, and emerging technologies, enabling professionals to select and implement effective, sustainable protection strategies in industrial environments.

The Tribocorrosion 2025 Congress focuses on presentations and discussions about wear in reactive environments, particularly in industries transitioning to decarbonization, such as marine applications and the hydrogen economy. It aims to unite scientists and engineers from academia and industry to explore the mechanical and chemical interactions influencing friction, wear, and lubrication under extreme conditions. Key topics include tribological challenges in hydrogen environments, CO₂ tribocorrosion in the energy sector, and tribocorrosion issues in contexts such as biomedical implants, energy conversion, and electric vehicles. Additionally, topics related to modeling, simulation, and recent research developments will be considered.

Practical, fundamental and comprehensive training in corrosion and protection. Core materials-science and chemistry content reinforced with group hands-on exercises.

A dedicated forum for the steel pipeline community focused on coatings, corrosion protection, and emerging technologies for transporting oil, gas, water, CO₂, and hydrogen. Covers the pipeline coating lifecycle (manufacturing, formulation, application, storage, logistics, laying, field joint coating, maintenance/rehabilitation) and provides extensive networking across the value chain.

This foundational seminar bridges theory and practice in corrosion prevention. Participants learn about electrochemical and dry corrosion mechanisms, material compatibility, testing methodologies, and design principles. It covers light metals, steels, stainless alloys, and non-ferrous materials, addressing corrosion under dynamic stress, the effects of joining technologies, and cathodic protection, providing practical grounding essential for effective corrosion management across industries.
