FIFTEENTH NATIONAL CONGRESS ON CORROISON AND ITS CONTROL

National Corrosion Council of India (NCCI), a forum for effective dissemination of knowledge on corrosion and its control, is functioning at the premises of CECRI since 1990.  NCCI organizes National Congress on Corrosion Control periodically, covering all aspects of Corrosion Science and Engineering, at important places, for enlightening and increasing the awareness about corrosion of metals and appropriate remedial measures to control it. There has been overwhelming response from various sectors for the earlier Fourteen congresses held at Karaikudi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, New Delhi, Kolkatta, Hyderabad, Kochi, Goa, Madurai,  Vadodara, Visakhapatnam and Mangalore. NCCI has also organized an International Congress on “Emerging Corrosion Control Strategies for the new millennium” at New Delhi, during February 20-22, 2002.

 The Fifteenth National Congress on Corrosion & its Control is being organized  at Chennai, Tamilnadu during  16-18 September 2010.
