Welcome to the MegaRust Rewind!

 

It was great seeing everyone in person for MegaRust!

Although only one team won Rusty's Corrosion Jeopardy, but it felt like all attendees were winners given the networking and knowledge-sharing sessions.

This annual conference provides an impartial forum for dialogue between government and commercial organizations, and providers of coatings and corrosion control products, processes, technologies and solutions. Participants include representatives from military, industry, and government organizations involved with research and development, design, engineering, construction, maintenance, modernization and operation of naval systems that are potentially affected by corrosion.

MegaRust is conducted annually to provide a consolidated focus on Navy corrosion issues. Corrosion is a major factor in the readiness and total ownership cost of naval systems and this conference is intended to provide updated information on programs, policies, standards and Fleet experience related to corrosion and to promote discussion and sharing of information on technologies and strategies for controlling corrosion. The conference covers all segments of the naval services including sea, air, Marine Corps, vehicles, and facilities.
