XV INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

"PROBLEMS OF CORROSION AND CORROSION PROTECTION OF STRUCTURAL MATERIALS"

Dear colleagues! During October 15-16, 2020, the XV International Conference "Problems of corrosion and corrosion protection of materials" (CORROSION 2020) was held in Lviv, dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the birth of Academician G.V Karpenka. The conference was attended by more than 120 scientists and representatives of industrial enterprises from 9 countries (Ukraine, China, Germany, Mexico, Poland, Slovakia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Switzerland). 38 oral presentations were heard at the conference (24 of them – on-line; 14 – off-line); 80 reports are presented as poster and correspondence in the following scientific areas:

• fundamental aspects of corrosion and corrosion-mechanical destruction;
• hydrogen and gas corrosion;
• new corrosion-resistant materials and coatings;
• inhibitory and biocidal protection;
• electrochemical protection;
• research methods and corrosion control;
• corrosion protection of equipment in the oil and gas, chemical and energy industries (round table).
The program consisted of six meetings, one of which was devoted to a round table discussion on corrosion protection of equipment in the oil and gas, chemical and energy industries. The conference was opened by the Chairman of the Program Committee, President of the Ukrainian Association of Corrosionists, Professor, Corresponding Member. NAS of Ukraine V.I. Pokhmursky and director of the Physical and Mechanical Institute NAS of Ukraine, Doctor of Sciences (Phys & Math), Professor, Academician of the NAS of Ukraine Z.T. Nazarchuk. The reports of scientists were marked by certificates of the organizing committee. Selected reports of the conference participants were published in a special issue of the journal "Physical and Chemical Mechanics of Materials", which is republished in English by Springer Verlag under the title "Materials Science". At the final meeting it was emphasized that the conference "CORROSION-2020" contributed to the specification of new priority areas of research in the field of corrosion and corrosion protection of materials, as well as the establishment of business contacts between scientists and manufacturers. The next XVI International Conference on Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Materials was decided to be held in Lviv in June 2022.
