Pacific Rim Corrosion Research Program (PRCRP)

Project Scope:
The PRCRP involves corrosion and climatology research in Hawaii and regions of the Pacific Theater of Operation. Hawaii has a unique spatially diverse climate, representing that of a miniature continent, making outdoor testing in a multitude of microclimates viable and practical. Corrosion mapping studies of Hawaii’s microclimates, and corrosion studies of advanced composites, ceramics, ceramic coatings, and advanced electronics are being conducted. Correlation between corrosion in controlled environments in the laboratory and corrosion in natural outdoor environments are also being investigated.
