Scope |
Current and future applications in power generation, aerospace, chemical, and other industries require materials that can survive exposure to extreme conditions involving high temperatures and corrosive environments. This need is particularly pressing in the era of decarbonization, where emission reduction goals are driving technologies that challenge materials to perform in novel and demanding environments. Understanding degradation processes in these environments is essential for the selection and design of suitable materials. This symposium focuses on experimental, computational, and theoretical studies of the oxidation and corrosion behavior, as well as the associated degradation of properties, of alloys, ceramics, composites, coatings, and other materials in high-temperature environments. |
