2nd International Conference and Exhibition on Corrosion and Surface Protection for Steel

Dear colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the Corrosion and Surface Protection for Steel 2021 International Symposium and Exhibition to be held in Istanbul, Türkiye on 27-29 May 2021.

According to the estimated global cost of corrosion is about US$ 2.5 trillion in accordance with the "International Measures of Prevention, Application and Economics of Corrosion Technology (IMPACT)" study released by NACE in 2016. This cost is equivalent to roughly 3.4 percent of the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The biggest portion of which is stemmed from the corrosion of steel. Therefore, TUCSA has decided to organise this biannual symposium in coordination with ECCS in Istanbul every odd years.

The Symposium will cover all aspects of corrosion science and engineering as well as steel and other relevant material protection with world-wide reach. Main topics will include the advances in corrosion prevention, corrosion monitoring, corrosion resistant materials, surface treatment and coatings, inspection and non-destructive testing, electrochemical methods, analytical techniques and microscopy, corrosion inhibitors and others.

With the expected attendance, the Symposium will be a very effective networking opportunity for scientists, academics, students and representatives of research institutions and industry in an existing professional setting and atmosphere. The scientific programme will consist of plenary lectures by world-renowned corrosion and surface protection specialists. Plenary and parallel sessions on a variety of topics will offer specialists on corrosion and surface protection from all over the world the opportunity to meet and present their research.

All accompanying events including welcome party, poster party, lunches and coffee breaks will be provided free of charge.

In May 2019, Istanbul will become the capital of corrosion, where will be very attractive for visitors as a Mediterranean costal city, a peaceful and sunny tourism centre.

We sincerely hope you will join us on 27-29 May 2021 in Istanbul which will be the first one of the biannual Corrosion and Surface Protection for Steel international symposium / conference series.

We sincerely hope you will join us on 27-29 May 2021 in Istanbul.
