Light Weight Metal Corrosion and Modeling for Corrosion Prevention, Life Prediction and Assessment

Description

This book contains selected peer reviewed papers from the 2nd Workshop on Corrosion Modeling for Life Prediction (CMLP 2010), Rome, Italy, 18 to 20 April 2010. The expertise of corrosion specialists working in the field of lightweight alloys provided a basis upon which to discuss corrosion problems and solutions for military and aerospace systems and facilities; thus laying a solid foundation for the tackling of yet-unsolved issues. The use of lightweight metals and composites to replace heavy structural materials for military hardware and weapons systems (ships, aircraft, ground vehicles, etc.) is a new strategic consideration for defense forces; falling under Naval S&T Strategic Plans. The objectives of the workshop were to seek state-of-the-art ideas, from outside of the continental United States, in the field of low-density metallic materials and composites for structural applications, as well as modeling and simulation software tools which are capable of generating and identifying damage evolution data for health monitoring, corrosion control, life prediction and assessment of civil and military hardware systems.
