CORROSION COURSE

September 21 - 23rd, 1983

Holiday Inn

Independence Mall — Fourth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, PA.

Sponsored by the Philadelphia Section of N.A.C.E. and the Engineers Club of Philadelphia.

The Liberty Bell Corrosion Course offers five concurrent three-day courses presented by recognized specialists from industry, government, and scholastic areas.

The individual courses provide a systematic and progressive coverage of the developing technology, as well as "State of the Art" expertise.

Each of the courses is a well designed mix of fundamental and advanced information, all presented from a practical point of view. A supplemental educational source is the current literature from industrial firms which are available to all attendees.

COURSE I: Principles of Corrosion

Introduction to the basic elements of corrosion and their significance, including specific papers on cathodic and anolic protection, effects of soils, temperature, organic and inorganic coatings, testing procedures, inhibitors, culminating with a panel discussion on failure analysis.

Corrosion and its Significance Methods for Testing Susceptibility to Corrosion

Inorganic Coatings for Controlling Corrosion Corrosion Inhibitors

Metallurgical and Mechanical Aspects of Corrosion Materials Selection

High Temperature Oxidation Engineering Properties of Plastics

Cathodic and Anodic Protection Controlling Corrosion with Organic Coatings

COURSE II: Marine Seminar

Broad overview of changes taking place in the marine industry including productivity improvements in ship construc- tion, impact of new regulations on the industry, corrosion problems, improvements in Cathodic Protection systems, training program in surface preparation and application for shipyard personnel and review of generic protective coat- ings to provide long term corrosion protection.

Atlantic Drydock Awarded $4-Million FFG Contract

Atlantic Drydock Corporation,

Fort George Island, Fla., has been awarded a $4,072,151 firm-fixed- price contract for the selected re- stricted availability of USS Oliver

Hazard Perry (FFG-7). The avail- ability includes the drydock and topside portion of the work. The

Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Con- version, and Repair, Jacksonville, is the contracting activity (N62670- 70-C-0003).

New President Appointed

At Fairbanks Morse

Melvin D. Maddox

Melvin D. Maddox has been appointed president of Colt Indus- tries, Fairbanks Morse Engine Di- vision in Beloit, Wise. The an- nouncement was made by George

W. Townsend, group president for Colt Industries.

Mr. Maddox comes from Salt

Lake City, where he has been vice president and general manager for

Eimco Mining Machinery Interna- tional since 1980. Prior to that he was associated with FMC Corpo- ration for 12 years, last serving as division manager of their mining equipment division.

Mr. Maddox has a bachelor's degree in Engineering from Ohio

State University, and an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago.

He will be relocating to the Beloit area from Salt Lake City.

Midland Is Granted

Contract Authority Status

The Ohio River Company, a sub- sidiary of Midland Affiliated, has been granted contract carrier au- thority by the ICC. It is the first barging firm to hold both common and contract carrier status.

The country's largest barge line,

The Ohio River Company with- drew from the Waterways Freight

Bureau and began publishing its own tariff in December of 1982. It sought contract authority from the

ICC shortly after its withdrawal.

The contract carrier status was approved for the transportation of iron and steel products and scrap iron. An extension of the contract authority has also been applied for in regard to general commodities shipments along the entire inland river system. By this action, com- pany officials believe a more cost- effective service can be provided to their customers. 12 Write 641 on Reader Service Card Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
