The deadline for registration for the Corrosion and Accelerated Corrosion Tests course offered by the AESF Foundation and National Association for Surface Finishing (NASF) has been extended to Feb. 6, 2023. This is the first course of 2023 and is being held online in February and March.

The course is one of many being taught this year. Each course is taught by a qualified NASF/AESF Foundation instructor who is there to support participants’ educational goals. Registered students receive electronic course materials in advance to help guide them through the course. Because the program is online, students follow along on their computers with the ability to ask questions during lessons. Recordings of the sessions are available upon request to students within 30 days of the original training date. After the course’s completion, an optional exam is available at the students’ locations with a proctor.

The AESF Foundation offers custom courses as well, enabling students to create a customized curriculum tailored to their and their company’s educational objectives. The courses are taught over two to four days in-person or virtually, depending on the participant’s preference.

For more information or questions on courses and their descriptions, interested parties can contact info@nasf.org.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 12th Quarterly Report

This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers the 12th quarter of project work (October – December 2023) at the University of Georgia. In our previous report, we described our work on performance and effect of surface fluorinated Ti4O7 anodes on PFAS degradation in reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) mode. This quarter, our experiments involved utilizing porous Ti4O7 plates serving both as anodes and membranes. Tests compared pristine and F-18.6 Ti4O7 anodes at current densities of 10 mA/cm2 and 40 mA/cm2. This 12th quarterly report discusses the mechanisms of the effects on EO performance by anode surface fluorination.
Hexavalent-Chromium-Free Aluminum Sacrificial Paint Validation

Hexavalent chromium is a known carcinogen, repro-toxin and mutagen. Its elimination is of high importance to the aerospace industry, which has struggled to find high performing alternatives. Legacy aluminum sacrificial paints have traditionally utilized hexavalent chromium to prevent corrosion and coatings which are equal to or better than have been difficult. This second of two papers discusses the hexavalent-chromium-free process from the user point-of-view in terms of the process validation work by Rolls Royce Corporation.
