In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the ACA has been hosting a series of webinars in the place of our regular events calendar. Hopefully, you've all had the chance to tune in at some point during your time in lockdown. If there was a webinar that you missed or one that you attended which you'd like to revisit, we're pleased to announce that all our past webinar recordings can now be viewed on the ACA website.

Unexpected corrosion damage is just as likely to arise from defective process control & lack of recognition of potential damage mechanisms, as incorrect alloy selection.
Operating plant is subject to variability of service condition arising from changes in feedstock, temporary process upsets, shutdowns for inspection and restart all representing a significant challenge to reliable operation. Corrosion damage mechanisms may proceed intermittently or steadily and time to failure may range from seconds to years and consist of initiation and propagation phases.
10th May 2020Our island nations are littered with historic shipwrecks which have been recording the microenvironment of the oceans since 1622 off the Western Australian coast. A study of the layers of decay recorded on degraded metal objects provides climate and corrosion scientists with a unique insight into the changing conditions on the seabed and with data on seawater temperatures.

The COVID-19 global health crisis has impacted all our lives to an extent not experienced this century. Our personal, family, social and vocational lives are all going through unprecedented change and the need for all of us to adapt and innovate has been forced upon us by one of the most significant market disruptions many of us have ever faced. While many of the challenges we face are universal, every industry, organisation and business is unique and the complications and opportunities that have arisen are varied. To explore how this crisis is affecting those within the corrosion mitigation industry, the ACA hosted an interactive webinar panel featuring a selection of guests speakers from different industry subsets representing Contractors, Asset Owners, Consultants, Coating Suppliers and Equipment Suppliers.
