This session focuses on corrosion and corrosion protection and determining materials performance throughout their service life. It will examine how degradation mechanisms evolve under realistic environmental and mechanical conditions, emphasizing the need for advanced protective strategies and multi scale understanding. The session also addresses digitally enabled materials degradation insights for corrosion management and extension of material durability.

Finally, it positions materials performance in-service evaluation within emerging Digital Materials and Product Passport (DPP) approaches, outlining how structured data flows can enhance traceability, sustainability assessment, and service life prediction.
