MATCOR, Inc. has appointed Chris Sheldon as the new Director of Engineering. Sheldon brings more than 25 years of engineering experience in the electric and gas utility sector to the company and will report directly to President & CEO, Jeff Stello.

Or to bring this proverb firmly into the 21st century: where there’s a need for man-made fertilizers, you’ll find copious amounts of corrosion resistant alloys as well!

Outokumpu will deliver stainless steel to Börger GmbH. The duplex will be used to build tanks required in biogas production. This order marks Outokumpu's first order for the newly launched duplex steel grade LDX 2404®.  The steel will be produced at the Outokumpu in Avesta, Sweden. LDX 2404® is the ideal choice for the tanks due to the high corrosion resistance and superior mechanical properties of the steel.

Ulrich Pflanz has received the 2011 MTI Bert Krisher Memorial Scholarship from The Materials Technology Institute (MTI). Pflanz recently earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Surface Technology and Materials Science at the Aalen University in Germany. The award was presented by MTI Board Members Robert Sinko of Eastman Chemicals and Paul Manning from Haynes International at NACE’s Corrosion 2011 Conference in Houston, Texas.

Evonik Industries and Swagelining Limited are developing a lining solution as part of a joint development. Instead of the corrosion resistant alloy pipes traditionally used for many offshore oil production flowlines, the two companies are now creating a combination of established liner technology from Swagelining and the custom-tailored VESTAMID® polyamide 12 from Evonik. When compared to corrosion resistant alloy pipes

Thomas L. Ladwein, chair for electrochemistry, corrosion and tribology at Aalen University of Applied Science, Germany, was the recipient of the prestigious “Herbert H. Uhlig Award” from NACE International. The award was given during the annual conference recently held in Houston, Texas to honor Professor Ladwein’s exemplary efforts in academic corrosion education.
