Preface
This issue of ECS Transactions, Corrosion in Marine and Saltwater Environments 3, is
the continuation of successful symposia held in 1999 and 2004, hosted by The
Electrochemical Society. The papers in this issue were presented at the 2008 PRiME
meeting held in Honolulu, Hawaii, from October 12 to 17, 2008.
The goal of this symposium was to address a wide spectrum of corrosion research in
marine and other saltwater environments and to provide a forum to examine the most
recent ideas and advances in the understanding of corrosion processes, mechanisms, and
means of corrosion prevention or control from both a basic and applied research
approach. Seventeen papers from that the 2008 symposium in Hawaii are included in this
volume.
Topic areas sought in this symposium included, but were not limited to: (1) general
corrosion mechanisms of steels and other materials in seawater and other saltwater
media; (2) marine atmospheric corrosion of metals and alloys; (3) microbiologically
influenced corrosion; (4) environmentally assisted cracking of materials in marine
environments; (5) design, processing variables, surface preparation, and pretreatments
affecting corrosion and corrosion control; (6) environmentally compliant inhibitors,
biocides, and coatings; (7) cathodic protection and innovative anode materials; (8)
composites and other advanced materials; (9) use of electrochemical, surface analytical,
and nondestructive detection methods; and (10) predictive and mechanistic corrosion
modeling.

The Electrochemical Society (ECS) is an international, nonrolit, scientilic, educational
orqani/ation lounded lor the advancement ol the theory and ractice ol electrochemistry,
electrothermics, electronics, and allied subjects. The Society was lounded in Fhiladelhia in
1OO2 and incororated in 1O8O. There are currently over 7,OOO scientists and enqineers lrom
more than 7O countries who hold individual membershi, the Society is also suorted by more
than 1OO cororations throuqh Cororate Membershis.
The technical activities ol the Society are carried on by Bivisions. Sections ol the Society have
been orqani/ed in a number ol cities and reqions. Major international meetinqs ol the Society
are held in the srinq and lall ol each year. At these meetinqs, the Bivisions and rous hold
qeneral sessions and sonsor symosia on seciali/ed subjects.
The Society has an active ublications roqram that includes the lollowinq.
Journal ol The Electrochemical Society - JES is the eerreviewed leader in the lield ol
electrochemical and solidstate science and technoloqy. Articles are osted online as soon as
they become available lor ublication. This archival journal is also available in a aer edition,
ublished monthly lollowinq electronic ublication.
Electrochemical and SolidState Letters rr -ESL is the lirst and only raidublication electronic
journal coverinq the same technical areas as JES. Articles are osted online as soon as they
become available lor ublication. This eerreviewed, archival journal is also available in a aer
edition, ublished monthly lollowinq electronic ublication. t is a joint ublication ol ECS and the
EEE Electron Bevices Society.
nterlace - nterlace is ECS's quarterly news maqa/ine. t rovides a lorum lor the lively
exchanqe ol ideas and news amonq members ol ECS and the international scientilic community
at larqe. Fublished online (with lree access to all) and in aer, issues hiqhliqht secial leatures
on the state ol electrochemical and solidstate science and technoloqy. The aer edition is
automatically sent to all ECS members.
Meetinq Abstracts (lormerly Extended Abstracts) -Abstracts ol the technical aers resented
at the srinq and lall meetinqs ol the Society are ublished on CBR0M.
ECS Transactions TT -This online database rovides access to lulltext articles resented at ECS
and ECSsonsored meetinqs. Content is available throuqh individual articles, or as collections
ol articles reresentinq entire symosia.
Monoqrah volumes -The Society sonsors the ublication ol hardbound monoqrah
volumes, which rovide authoritative accounts ol secilic toics in electrochemistry,
solidstate science, and related discilines.
