CorroZoom: A New Free Corrosion Science Webinar Series

Gerald Frankel, Ohio State University Professor and Journal of The Electrochemical Society Corrosion Science and Technology Technical Editor, is hosting CorroZoom, a webinar series focusing on corrosion science. In this time of relative isolation from professional colleagues and friends, CorroZoom seeks to build and maintain a worldwide community of scientists with mutual interests in the area of corrosion science. The webinar series is free to everyone in the world. CorroZoom is not associated with any professional organization or society. An informal organizing committee selected the speakers. If the series is successful and the need persists, more speakers will be added.

Format
The webinars are synchronous and live only—you must be logged on to participate. Each webinar includes an estimated 45-minute-long presentation, and discussion lasting about 15 minutes. Participants can submit questions to the speaker in the Zoom Q&A box which is managed by a moderator.

Timing
Start times by region follow. While the webinars always start at 0800h EST, note that after the March/April daylight savings time change, start times will differ in some locations.

Corrosion-induced failures of materials are observed at the macroscopic scale, but corrosion processes are surface processes taking place at the nanoscale and initiated at the atomic scale. Understanding corrosion of metal surfaces at atomic/nanometric scale is a key to a better design and an improved control of engineering metals and protective coatings. This talk focuses on a surface science approach of corrosion and protection of metals and alloys. The topics include key factors for the stability of surface oxide films on metals and alloys, and key features of organic molecule-oxide-metal interactions for corrosion inhibition. The presented data is based on the application of advanced surface analytical techniques, combined with electrochemical measurements and DFT modeling.
