The 1st International Conference on Electrochemical Methods in Corrosion Research (EMCR) was held in Manchester in 1982, and it has subsequently run in Toulouse (1985), Zurich (1988), Helsinki (1991), Lisbon (1994), Trento (1997), Budapest (2000), Ysermonde (2003), Dourdan (2006), Maragoggi (2012), Troia (2015) and Cambridge (2018). The 13th EMCR conference will be held in La Rochelle, France from May 30 to June 4, 2021, at La Rochelle University. This conference has evolved into one of the leading events in corrosion electrochemistry, providing an intimate, focused meeting.
Topics: Electrochemical studies at high temperature, for example in pressurised water or molten salts. Scanning and microprobe techniques, including scanning probe, SECM, LEIS and techniques based on AFM technology. Electrochemical studies of environmentally-assisted fracture. Detection of hydrogen and studies of hydrogen interaction with metals. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and electrochemical noise. Modelling from the atom to the application. Combination of electrochemical studies with complementary techniques (e.g. optical, ultrasonic, radiographic, tomographic). Cathodic protection and inhibition.
