Defense Corrosion Modeling Working Group

As I've mentioned in the past, I'd like to start transitioning to use half of our WG time for the discussion of the roadmap and half of our time to make space for a speaker.  These speaker spots could include perspectives from funding sponsors, demonstrations of existing technologies, or other topic deep-dives.  If you are willing to speak or demonstrate a tool, please comment below.  Also, if you have an idea of a spotlight you'd like to see, please post the idea below.  We will work on building an agenda to progress through the topics.

If the group is interested, we would be happy to share information on current capability in BEASY's PolCurveX and Corrosion Manager modeling tools and perhaps touch on some current research we are doing using these types of modeling tools.   The PolCurveX  tool is aligned with guidance in MIL-STD-889 and supports curve crossing and deconvolution as well as the management of polarization curve data.   The Corrosion Manager software is a multi-physics-based 3D corrosion modeling and simulation tool that can be used with both bulk and thin film electrolytes.  June 19th would work for us assuming I have the meeting cadence correct.

Corrdesa/Siemens/USAF Corrosion Office can brief our 3 primary commercial corrosion modeling tools:

1. Corrosion Djinn (Corrdesa brief): This is the computer equivalent of MIL-STD-889D, but includes area ratios and many additional materials and coatings, in artificial seawater, 3.5% NaCl and 5% NaCl (for modeling B117 testing)
2. Siemens NX Corrosion Analysis Indicator (Siemens or Corrdesa brief): This is for use by designers and design engineers. It automatically analyzes any CAD model, including its materials, coatings and treatments, and applies MIL-STD-889D analysis to all its interfaces, allowing the user to quickly change materials, coatings, etc.
3. Corrosion Analysis Toolset (USAF Corrosion Office or Corrdesa brief): This allows M&P engineers with no computational experience (like me!) to analyze complex assemblies by using templates. This software is being used by the USAF Corrosion Office to solve corrosion problems in assemblies.

We typically brief these three approaches together so users can understand their capabilities and limitations, and can do that in a fairly short briefing.

Also, the Group could benefit from Maya Rabinowitz briefing an analysis of the Survey. By now we should have a good number of responses.
