PROTECTION AGAINST BIO-TRIBOCORROSION IN INDUSTRY
Aim and focussed topics addressed
This course will provide a training on the basics of bio-tribocorrosion (friction, wear,
lubrication, coupling of chemical, electrochemical, mechanical and biological effects), with a
special emphasis on bio-tribocorrosion in food industry and engineering systems. Its interdisciplinary approach will provide trainees an insight on possible implications of corrosion,
tribology, and bio-tribocorrosion in their own research field or industrial surrounding. Impact
and protective actions against the degradation of materials subjected to different users’
conditions will be addressed.
This course is taught in the context of the Erasmus programs. Master students can acquire a
certificate equivalent to 3 ECTS within the “Erasmus Learning Agreement” between their
university and Ecole Centrale Paris. 15 lecturers from 10 countries are shearing their large
background and research expertise in complementary fields with the participants from
academic institutions and industries.
Venue
The Training School will be held at Ecole Centrale Paris (ECP) south of Paris
(http://www.ecp.fr/lang/en/homepage), and can be reached from Orly airport by direct Orlyval
train and from Roissy airport by direct RER to Antony/Châtenay-Malabry. Lodging is possible
at ECP Campus “Maison des Etudiants de l’Ecole Centrale”. Participants have to make
reservation directly by writing to commercial@centralepariscampus.com, (ref. ”IRSES
COURSE”), mentioning the type of room, arrival and departure dates and hours, and
eventually names of persons with whom they want to share a room. Keys are handed over
during week days between 9h00 – 17h30; outside this time slot, arrangement for key handing
over will be organized by Pierre Ponthiaux. Sport activities are possible at ECP campus and
in the Parc de Sceaux (http://parc.de.sceaux.free.fr/).
