(type of corrosion)

♦New materials : metallic coatings, composite,

paint system & process

♦ Tests methods, filed studies, prediction tools

♦ Components: exhaust, heat exchangers & engine cooling systems….

WP activities

♦ Focused on the preparation of Eurocorr, including joined sessions

♦ Participation to WP meeting (10 people)
