The 4th International Conference on Environmental Degradation of Engineering Materials will be organised by Gdansk University of Technology in Poland, viagra Gda?sk – Sobieszewo on 9 – 12 May 2010.

SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE

The international conferences in the series Environmental Degradation of Engineering Materials (EDEM) belong to important European and World conferences in this field. Each time they provide excellent opportunity for materials scientists and corrosion engineers throughout the globe to meet and exchange knowledge on various aspects related to the environmental degradation of structural and functional engineering materials. The latest research findings are presented, sale high-level lectures are given, healing internationally acclaimed scientists present breakthroughs in this field, ideas are exchanged, and new joint research projects are initiated. Besides the official scientific side of the conference, the social events give opportunities to relax, have fun and joy.

FOCAL THEMES

Performance, condition monitoring and degradation of materials in systems for energy generation and conversion.
Nuclear waste disposal.

CONFERENCE TOPICS

Experimental and modelling of environmental-assisted cracking: hydrogen degradation, stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, etc.
Electrochemical effects: passivity breakdown, pitting, hydrogen evolution.
Research techniques and monitoring of environmental degradation.
Failure of metallic, ceramic, polymer and composite materials.
Failures in the chemical, nuclear, oil and gas industries, air and surface transport.
Failure of functional materials: biomaterials, electronic materials, etc.
