Advanced Materials and Technologies for Harsh Environments

Scope: Understanding how materials interact with their operating environment is critical for selecting the most suitable material or material system for a given application. Effective material selection and optimization can significantly enhance component life, reduce lifetime costs, improve operational efficiency, and contribute to sustainability goals, such as reduced emissions. This symposium will focus on three key areas that drive material-environment interactions: coatings, corrosion, and advanced materials for harsh environments. The session aims to provide a global platform for researchers and industry experts to share insights, innovations, and applications-based research in these vital domains. Key topics include: (1) Coatings: Processing techniques, advanced applications, and performance enhancements. (2) Corrosion and Material Lifing: Strategies for extending material life and mitigating degradation. (3) Materials for Harsh Environments: Innovations in material systems, including sensors and their integration for extreme conditions. The symposium will foster discussions on cutting-edge technologies and methodologies that address the challenges posed by harsh environments, offering solutions that enhance durability, reliability, and performance across a wide range of applications.
