The Society for Preventive Coatings (SSPC) has been an essential partner with the Department of Defense in the fight against corrosion for nearly 10 years. Since 2003, SSPC’s leadership and expertise in corrosion management, prevention and control has been a very important factor in our success at combating the insidious and pervasive effects of corrosion on our facilities and equipment.
The Society for Preventive Coatings (SSPC) has been an essential partner with the Department of Defense in the fight against corrosion for nearly 10 years. Since 2003, SSPC’s leadership and expertise in corrosion management, prevention and control has been a very important factor in our success at combating the insidious and pervasive effects of corrosion on our facilities and equipment. SSPC’s efforts have covered the spectrum of corrosion curriculum development; in-class and on-the-job training for technicians and managers; development and improvement of corrosion-related specifications and standards; ensuring the use of high-quality protective coverings products and application methods; and overseeing the development of improved products and methods. A notable example of support for the DoD is the corrosion overview course developed by SSPC for the NATO school. In 2013, we are focusing on corrosion in the Pacific Rim, which is affected by the entire range of microclimates from hot and humid to frigid arctic conditions. Paints, coatings and other protective coverings are critical to the initial protection of our infrastructure and warfighting assets, as well as the follow-on corrosion prevention and control of vulnerable surfaces. The incidence and effects of corrosion in the Pacific Rim is particularly crucial, and we are depending on SSPC to join us in studying and evaluating the Pacific Rim environmental conditions and developing solutions to the incidence and impact of corrosion given these conditions. The focal point for corrosion in the Pacific Rim will be the DoD Corrosion Conference to be held in Hawaii in September 2013.

Virtual paint training systems are a needed and valuable addition to teaching methods. As the accuracy and complexity of simulations improve, the industry has begun to exploit this fusion of simulation and education. This presentation explores the next step - how to use the simulation to increase student engagement, enrich their skills development, and improve the trainees’ knowledge base.
Translational science itself is not a new scientific process. Since investigative science experiments were established and results measured, basic and applied science has been translated into useful applications. However, science has not always been investigative or effectively translated into useful applications. And when it has, the translation often consumed a significant amount of time and faced considerable implementation obstacles.
