CORROSION SCIENCE, CORROSION ENGINEERING, AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

Professor R.M. Latanision was the 1994 recipient of the Willis Rodney Whitney Award sponsored by NACE International. The present work is tak en from his award lecture at CORROSION/94 held in March 1994 in Baltim ore, MD. Latanision discussed the interplay between corrosion science and corrosion engineering in advancing technology. His lecture focused on supercritical water oxidation and other technologies that have bee n under study in the H.H Uhlig Corrosion Laboratory and in which the c hemical properties of new materials and traditional materials have pro ven integral to the development of contemporary or advanced engineerin g systems.
