TSCC:  A Word About Tri-Service Corrosion Conference

 

CONFERENCE BACKGROUND The Tri-Service Corrosion Conference has been hosted biennially by one of the services since being initiated by the Air Force in 1967.  The purpose of the Conference is to promote interaction among the military services through a forum wherein the Federal Government’s corrosion technologists and interested defense contractors have an open exchange of the latest corrosion issues relevant to military systems.  Moreover, these conferences provide increased visibility of DOD corrosion control and prevention efforts and promote novel and innovative solutions to DOD corrosion problems.    CONFERENCE OBJECTIVE This exchange of information encourages cooperative efforts which will aid in the development of integrated corrosion prevention and control technologies.  Furthermore, these conferences provide DOD the benefit of feedback, assessments, and recommendations from recognized experts in the corrosion field.  The overall goal of these interactions between DOD, private industry, academia, and other Government agencies is to reduce life cycle costs through advances in corrosion control and prevention.
