The document discusses the significant impact of corrosion across various industries, including oil & gas, automotive, aerospace, and infrastructure, highlighting the economic losses and safety risks associated with it. It emphasizes the need for proactive corrosion prevention measures and the importance of addressing corrosion challenges in the design, material selection, and maintenance phases. A forum will be held to connect industry experts and discuss advancements in corrosion technology and prevention strategies.

2. OIL & GAS INDUSTRY / REFINERIES /
PETROCHEMICALS
 Oil & gas pipelines, refineries and petrochemical plants face serious
problems due to corrosion.
 Corrosion affects every aspect of exploration and production – from
offshore rigs to casing to in and around the pipelines transporting
crude oil & gas.
 The atmosphere and flow regimes of fluids in the pipes greatly
influence the corrosion rate.
 Over the next five years, these industries have outlined major
production and capacity, expansion plans.

3.  In such a case, it is advisable to adopt corrosion protection technology
beforehand from a long term perspective.
 Further, with the population growth and infrastructure expansion,
decisions in terms of addressing pipeline corrosion need to be
handled in an aggressive manner.
 Combating corrosion in these industries is paramount since the
economic loss can run into several billions of dollars.
 As part of the conference, industry experts will discuss the various
challenges and also touch upon the different corrosion protection
methods and technology.

4. AUTOMOBILES
The roots of corrosion in vehicles
• Upon finding a rust spot on your vehicle, your first concern might be
about the impact on its exterior.
• This however, indicates a larger issue within the interior of the car
— a structural weakening of the car’s metal frame and components.
• Corrosion is a widely encountered issue in the automotive industry.
• Automotive corrosion leads to loss of material leading to failure and
breakdowns, dimensional inaccuracy, degradation of aesthetics,
deterioration of mechanical properties and increase in maintenance
cost.

5.  The causes of corrosion in vehicles can be traced back to the
manufacturing stage as well as to environmental conditions on the
road.
 Also, material selection during manufacturing of vehicles is
important as it helps improve resistance to corrosion.
 At the event Corrosion Technology Forum 2018, industry experts
will discuss the various challenges and focus on the latest
development in corrosion mechanisms to minimize the risk of
corrosion.

6. AEROSPACE
Controlling mid-air corrosion failures
 Airframe problems associated with corrosion has troubled the
aviation industry for decades.
 The metals that compose aircraft components are subject to several
different forms of corrosion.
 This can lead to catastrophic failures if not detected and treated.
 Compounding the problems associated with corrosion is the age
factor.

7.  As a plane ages, it is repeatedly exposed to environments that
accelerate the effects of corrosion.
 Implementing corrosion-prevention measures in the design &
manufacturing and selection of materials used to repair/upgrade
planes, in conjunction with effective maintenance procedures, is the
best insurance against corrosion-related failures.
 An investment in corrosion control technology is an investment in
public safety, and it protects the industry’s bottom line.
 Experts will provide insight into cutting-edge knowledge of the
complex variables that combine to influence the corrosion that
poses a threat to the aging fleets of aircraft.

8. INFRASTRUCTURE
Predicting corrosion – Enhancing safety from failing
infrastructure
 Corrosion has a huge economic and environmental impact on all
kinds of infrastructure.
 The annual cost of corrosion in terms of Gross Domestic Product is
approximately 3 to 4 percent and it is of no surprise that a large
proportion of this cost relates to indirect or hidden costs.
 For example loss of containment of product, pollution remediation,
loss of production, increased maintenance and litigation costs.

9.  Although corrosion can impact concrete pavement performance,
primary concern is with highway bridges and ancillary structures.
 Because of it, buildings and bridges can collapse, oil pipelines break
and water sources become contaminated.
 It has been recognised that up to 25 percent of this cost can be saved
by applying existing knowledge of the basic principles of corrosion
science and engineering.
 Our experts will discuss opportunities related to infrastructure
corrosion such as better materials, cost-effective long-life
preservation strategies and condition assessment.

10.  Most industries bear the brunt of the ‘rot’ simply because corrosion
prevention usually does not find a significant part in the master plan
of mega projects.
 Every corrosion is different and each industry needs a different plan
to evade corrosion.
 Be a part of WorldofChemicals’ “Corrosion Technology Forum” on
June 7 and 8 in Bengaluru. Connect with industry stalwarts as we
discuss corrosion prevention opportunities in the four major
industries across geographies.
