LPP&CC/MESC Workshop on Coating System Specification: Enhancing Durability and Corrosion Resistance
By PUBLICITY DIVISION (IESL)
A significant workshop titled "Coating System Specification Designing Based on the Target Durability & Corrosivity Class" was held on February 18, 2025, at the Wimalasurendra Auditorium. The event, organized by the Library Publications Publicity and Conferences Committee (LPP&CC) in collaboration with the Mechanical Engineering Sectional Committee (MESC), brought together engineers and experts in the field of materials science and engineering.
The workshop focused on the crucial topic of designing coating systems tailored to meet specific durability targets and corrosivity classifications. As the global demand for sustainable and long-lasting engineering solutions rises, effective corrosion protection has become more important than ever. The workshop aimed to equip engineers with the necessary knowledge to select and design coating systems that ensure the longevity and reliability of materials exposed to various environmental conditions
The event included expert presentations, case studies, and hands-on activities, allowing participants to explore the practical aspects of coating system specification. Key topics discussed included corrosion classification, material performance in different corrosive environments, and best practices for selecting the right coatings to extend the life of engineered structures.
“We are seeing a growing need for engineers to understand how to match coating systems with the specific durability and corrosivity demands of their projects,” said the Chairman of LPP&CC. “This workshop is a crucial step in providing engineers with the tools and insights they need to make informed decisions about corrosion prevention and material longevity.”
The workshop’s comprehensive agenda and expert-led discussions were well-received by attendees, many of whom expressed appreciation for the practical insights they gained. With increasing pressure on industries to reduce maintenance costs and improve the lifespan of their products, understanding the science of coatings is more important than ever.
By the end of the session, participants left with a deeper understanding of how to design effective coating systems that meet both the technical and environmental demands of their respective industries. The workshop succeeded in its mission to enhance the expertise of engineers and advance the field of corrosion protection in engineering applications.
This workshop was an excellent example of the collaborative efforts between the LPP&CC and MESC, providing valuable knowledge to the engineering community.
