NACE and ASM launch corrosion analysis Web site

NACE International, The Corrosion Society, in collaboration with ASM International, The Materials Information Society, has launched a new Web site, www.corrosionanalysisnetwork.com, which is designed to provide a resource for solutions for control, prediction and prevention of corrosion problems.

“We are proud to partner in this effort,” cites Delmar Doyle, interim executive director of NACE International, and Stan Theobald, managing director of ASM International. “The answers provided here, developed by the world’s top researchers and engineers, have been published in the leading journals and references in our fields. These solutions span the world’s most challenging environments, from aerospace to infrastructure to medical.”

Available on a subscription basis, corporate employees and university researchers can avail themselves of the most comprehensive resource available with a combined pool of ASM and NACE research and engineering data to solve a problem.

Along with a complete library of published papers and articles from both societies, the new Web site features analytical and modeling tools that can aid in the comparison and selection of materials and coatings. The collaboration of information makes it easier for members of these two technical societies to choose solutions for virtually any specific application. The web site also features advanced collaborative tools allowing network users to interact with each other to further assist in achieving optimal solutions to complex corrosion and materials problems.

Complementing ASM and NACE as collaborative founding partners in the Web site, ASTM International is a content partner, and Granta provides analytic tools as a technology contributor. Other technical societies are expected to join the network in the future, further expanding the collaborative opportunity for members of all organizations involved.

“We encourage researchers and professionals at all levels to take advantage of the diverse and growing capabilities of the new network,” said Theobald and Doyle. “We are confident that it is the world’s most comprehensive and authoritative resource for researching, understanding, preventing, controlling, predicting, and solving corrosion-related problems.”

NACE International, The Corrosion Society (www.nace.org), based in Houston, has more than 22,000 members in 110 countries. It is recognized worldwide as the largest professional association dedicated to protecting people, assets, and the environment from the impact of corrosion. It was founded in 1943, and offers technical training and certification programs, sponsors conferences, and produces industry standards, reports, publications, and software to prevent and mitigate corrosion.

ASM International, The Materials Information Society (www.asminternational.org), is based in Materials Park, Ohio, and is dedicated to serving the materials science and engineering profession. Through its network of 36,000 members worldwide, ASM provides authoritative information and knowledge on materials and processes, from the structural to the nanoscale, and benefits the materials community by providing scientific, engineering and technical knowledge, education, networking and professional development.
