Paper Title: The Growth of Nonmetallic Materials Applications

Affiliation: Principle Professional 
Consulting Services Department 
Saudi Aramco

Abstract: Non-Metallic Materials (NMM) are industrial and consumer products that are produced using chemicals and polymers, and that often substitute for products previously made from metals. NMM main advantage is its immunity to corrosion which make it a desirable corrosion control option. In the oil & gas industry, piping made from NMM are employed in many applications ranging from utility water streams to sour crude oil. However, NMM applications are not limited to the oil & gas industry. NMM are predominantly utilized in 13 industrial sectors to varying degrees. These sectors are: packaging, building & construction, automotive, textile, electrical & electronics, appliances, toys & sports, railway, oil & gas, renewables, agriculture, marine, and aerospace. With the improvements in materials’ chemical properties, products’ mechanical strength, reinforcement options, and life cycle costs, the applications of NMM are steadily growing. A review or current and future trends will highlight potential growth areas. Areas of industrial collaboration on standards, research & development, and waste management will be discussed.

Paper Title: Developments of Deterministic-probabilistic modelling for coating/metallic substrate performance in corrosive/harsh environments

Affiliation: Associate Professor, Materials Science and Engineering Director of the National Corrosion and Materials Reliability Laboratory Texas A&M University

Abstract: Protective coatings for extreme conditions applications must retain their integrity and function over prolonged operation and ideally should provide a long-lasting lifetime, be able to block aggressive agents, to heal imperfections or damage suffered during operation, and unequivocally signal failure when damage is irreparable. We have proposed a rational characterization and quantification concept of damage/performance evolution that incorporate modular elements corresponding to deterministic and probabilistic modelling approach. Distinctive modes of corrosion inhibition, self-healing, and mass transfer blocking based on different properties of the coatings. The presentation includes a versatile library of multifunctional coatings that each bring about a distinctive mode of corrosion control and deploy an experimental-theoretical-driven approach to rapidly leading to the performance of the systems in different corrosive-harsh environments. The effort seeks to combine distinctive aspects of coating design with deterministic and probabilistic damage/performance modelling in extreme environments and predicting operational lifetime for the design coatings/substrate system.
