Welcome to the Corrosion Committee

Welcome to the Corrosion Committee of the Surface Engineering Division. The primary function of the Corrosion Committee is to represent the Institute's interests in this important matter. We have found increasingly that liaison with external bodies with similar interests is vital to the promulgation of our remit. Hence, we have strong links with a number of UK, EU and International bodies including the Institute of Corrosion, European Federation of Corrosion and NACE International, and seek to operate collaboratively with them at all times.
