Invitation To Eurocorr 2012
Turkish Corrosion Association has committed, with great
enthusiasm, to host the most important European event for
corrosion science and engineering, EUROCORR 2012. We
are also very happy to organize this meeting in Istanbul, one of
the World’s most important cities, lying between and embracing
two Continents, Asia and Europe and separated with one of the
World’s most beautiful straits; Bosphorus.
Corrosion not only causes nearly 2,000 billion dollars worth of
damage for the inhabitants of our planet each year but also
severely endangers their safety. This concept thus constitutes
the main theme of our conference “Safer World Through Better
Corrosion Control”. In Turkey the relentless geographical
reality of earthquakes are not forgiving of recklessness and
indifference to corrosion protection.
Istanbul is a splendid setting for dissemination of new knowledge
and intense exchange of ideas and information on corrosion
and corrosion protection between scientists and technical
executives and professionals from all over the world.
The conference programme, including oral and poster
presentations, also features workshops covering hottest
topics through the active involvement and contribution of all
interested parties and plenary and invited lectures from the
most distinguished scientists.
On the occasion of EUROCORR 2012, I am proud and
honoured to invite you to Istanbul where old and new, traditional
and modern, reality and mystery harmoniously intertwined with
each other. Istanbul is welcoming you and hoping that your stay
will be both scientifically and personally an exciting experience.

Short Course on Tribocorrosion
This introductory course to tribocorrosion is intended to
familiarise students, young researchers, mechanical and
chemical engineers, bio-engineers, maintenance responsible,
material experts etc. with the basic and practical aspects of
tribology, corrosion, and their combined effect on material
degradation and protection issues.
It provides a well-structured approach of the scientific and
technological basics needed to investigate the tribocorrosion
behaviour of passivating materials. It explains how to conduct in
a correct way a laboratory investigation on it, which experimental
techniques are relevant, and how to analyse correctly the
experimental data gathered.
Further information is available at the conference website.
