Carboline’s Jeremy Sukola and Jack Walker examine how concrete is affected by environmental chlorides and other factors, as well as exploring other physical forces that contribute to corrosion in a water and wastewater system.
Tim Goddette, deputy assistant secretary for sustainment, recently visited Aviation and Missile Command headquarters at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, to discuss the U.S. Army’s nondestructive testing and corrosion program.
Metals technology and corrosion control units at Macdill Air Force Base recently collaborated to create and implement a new wheel painting stand design, which should allow U.S. Airmen to produce twice as much in half the time.
While time and money are always lost when faced with a premature coatings or linings failure, the biggest loss is often that of reputation. Mike O’Brien of MARK 10 Research Group, Inc., made that clear during an AMPP 2023 forum presentation.
Held this March in Denver, Colorado, the 2023 AMPP Annual Conference + Expo drew more than 5,700 attendees and 380 exhibiting groups from the global corrosion and coatings industries. Preparations are already underway for the 2024 show in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Phil Fouche has traveled the world for decades as a Coating Inspector Program (CIP) Instructor for NACE International (now AMPP) while also serving as a CIP subcommittee member. In this “member profile,” we explore highlights and lessons learned from his distinguished career.
Engineering Director, Inc. (EDI), with data supplied through AtmosphericIQ LLC, created a web application that makes it easy to assess atmospheric exposure to specify the optimum coating system based on desired life expectancy.
After a near-record submission total of more than 50 nominations, Materials Performance (MP) magazine recently announced the winners of its 2023 Corrosion Innovation of the Year Awards program.
Jeremy Sukola, water and wastewater market manager at coatings, linings, and fireproofing manufacturer Carboline, recently spoke with us to discuss key industry trends, feedback from the marketplace, and much more.
The U.S. Army says it is creating three new facilities on Treat Island, Maine; in Fairbanks, Alaska; and in Hanover, New Hampshire. These facilities will test whether coatings can withstand, and even mitigate, ice adhesion and corrosion.
The U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center patented its process for applying a “smart” fiberoptic system between a metal surface and its protective coating, which they believe can detect the beginnings of corrosion at the microscopic level.
Self-healing concrete, in the form of microcapsules filled with water treatment sludge, could offer a solution to halt what researchers say are unprecedented corrosion levels in Australia’s aging concrete pipelines.
The 2023 version of the AMPP Annual Conference + Expo takes place from March 18-23 in Denver, Colorado, USA. Here’s our look at key highlights for the event, along with a welcome message from AMPP’s Amir Eliezer and Cris Conner.
Denver Water is receiving $76 million in funding from the U.S. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to accelerate its lead-service line replacement plan, which was recently approved and found to be effective by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The announcement ceremony for the 2023 Corrosion Innovation of the Year Awards will be held on Monday, March 20, at the AMPP Annual Conference + Expo in Denver, Colorado, USA.
