Presenting HELIX research during the ARCOR Days 2024

Flavien Vucko, Global Research Leader from the French Corrosion Institute, attended the ARCOR Days 2024, an event organised by the Association for Research on Corrosion and Corrosion Protection (ARCOR) on May 28th-29th, 2024, in Brest (France).

On May 28th, during the slot reserved for presentations to the Marine Corrosion committee, he delivered the presentation “Outcomes from the HELIX project”, which mainly focused on two topics: hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion testing.

Moreover, the presentation provided an overview of the HELIX project and introduced the materials and coatings used, as well as future work involving real outdoor testing.
