Corrosion prevention expertsAbout corrosion prevention
One mechanism accounts for most of the work on Halo. Fourteen entries address microbially induced corrosion, and almost all of them predict or measure it; hardly any prevent it. Protective coatings and antimicrobial surfaces make up the remainder. On Halo it spans five groups, including test methods for microbial corrosion, predicting and monitoring microbial corrosion, and protective coatings.
Stage of development. Work on corrosion prevention on Halo comes mostly from university programs. 46% of the solutions are in market. Co-development and sponsored research are the usual partnering routes, and about 36% of the solutions that state terms offer licensing.
Three trends in corrosion prevention solutions on Halo
Fourteen entries on one mechanism. Microbially induced corrosion drew six test methods and eight prediction or monitoring approaches, using AC impedance, electrochemical fluctuation analysis, a four-point probe, biofilm reactors, metabolic assays with genome models, and trained models on the resulting data. Thirteen of the fourteen are universities. A single industrial request has clearly seeded the whole cluster.
Prediction, not prevention. Almost nothing in the microbial corrosion set actually stops corrosion. They measure it, simulate it in a microcosm, monitor it on an asset, or predict which coating will fail. The commercial problem is inspection scheduling on buried and submerged assets, and that is a measurement question before it is a materials one.
The coatings are a separate, smaller field. Five protective coatings sit beside the fourteen: a sol-gel release liner two microns thick, 2D heterostructures for ultra-low friction, halloysite nanotubes doing insulation and corrosion resistance together, and anti-stick chemistry for drilling. They share the page with the prediction work and almost no vocabulary with it.

Frequently asked questions
What are corrosion prevention solutions?
Corrosion prevention covers stopping a material from being eaten, and predicting when it will be. It spans test methods and monitoring for microbially induced corrosion, protective and low-friction coatings, antimicrobial surfaces that stop a biofilm forming, and the specific product problems corrosion creates. Asset owners, coatings manufacturers and industrial operators are the buyers.
