EFC Working Party 6: Surface Science and Mechanisms of Corrosion and Protection


Welcome to the website of the Working Party on Surface Science and Mechanisms of Corrosion and Protection.
 

Current Activities


At present, our primary activity is our annual joint sessions with WP8 at the annual EuroCorr conference.  We are currently planning further possible activities, including an online tutorial series focussing on corrosion-related methods and modelling.  If you want to be kept up to date with WP6 activities, please join our mailing list (see below).

 

Business Meeting

A joint business meeting with WP8 was held at EUROCORR 2025 in Stavanger.  At the meeting, a new vice-chair was elected, Maryna Taryba (Universidade de Lisboa).  Possible new activities were also discussed, including online tutorials.

Mission 


The mission of WP6 is to provide a forum for discussion of research targeting:

Understanding corrosion from the atomic scale upwards

Emphasis is placed on understanding the surface chemical and electrochemical reactions involved in corrosion phenomena by combining the use of electrochemical measurements with surface analytical techniques as well as in silico modelling. The working party promotes a surface science approach with both experiments and modelling covering various length and time scales.
