PerforMat Network (Academy of Finland) and CorTools (EIT RawMaterials) proudly present: Performance under demanding industrial conditions: stainless steels and coatings
Free online webinar
Thursday 2 September 2021 (Times in EET)

Performance under demanding industrial conditions: stainless steels and coatings webinar will concentrate on the materials performance issues related to harsh and corrosive operating conditions and how the phenomenological understanding on materials behaviour may solve industrial challenges. Of particular interest are two types of materials: stainless steels and thermally sprayed coatings.

The webinar is free of charge and arranged on-line (Microsoft Teams). The participation link will be sent for the registered participants.
