Intellicorr is a 5 year EU Horizon 2020 funded research project that will investigate localised corrosion in sweet environments and the potential for green corrosion protection using the corrosion product layer.
Intellicorr will use synchrotron techniques, advanced microscopy, numerical methods and environmental/cost analysis to bring about unprecedented advances in:
- prediction and management of localised pitting corrosion;
- novel methods for green corrosion protection using the natural corrosion product layer.
Intellicorr is hosted by the Institute of Functional Surfaces (iFS) at the University of Leeds. Research will be undertaken by the team in the Corrosion Laboratory dedicated to sweet and HP/HT corrosion studies.
