Corrosion Awareness Day 2026
Corrosion is all around us and occurs when materials revert to a more stable state. However, much can be done to ensure that this does not have a serious impact on our lives. We plan to follow up the very well-attended Corrosion Awareness Day Seminars since 2021.
The seminar will be online and free of charge but you have to sign up to receive the link to the day. Please register below no later than April 22, 2026. All registered participants will receive a teams link to join the seminar no later than April 23.
