PARTICIPATE
MES 2023 offers a unique and approachable participation. The principle is based on Come&Go. That means that each participant gets a place with 4 wall panels of 100 * 250 cm (w*h), high table and high chairs. All participants get the same basic package. There is no need to invest in your own stand. Of course, printing on wall panels is possible. The set-up is carried out entirely by the organisation. As a participant, you can also present a product or solution in the demo zone.

Lennard van Gurp presents at MES2023: ‘Het kwantificeren van chroom-6 zonder matrix storingen’
Binnen de huidige analysemethodieken voor chroom-6 zijn er diverse uitdagingen m.b.t. reductie door o.a. metallisch zink en aluminium. SEEF heeft een analysetechniek ontwikkeld die hier ongevoelig voor is. Tijdens de lezing wordt het hoe en waarom van chroom-6 analyses tegen het licht gehouden.

Emile Derache at MES2023: ‘Automatisatie van een coating proces: Voor- en nadelen van een 6-assige robot’
In deze presentatie komt aan bod waar de voordelen en de nadelen liggen van klassieke liniaere robots (reciprocators/automaten) en van 6-assige robots. Het gebruik van een visie-systeem met robot, of juist het inzetten van goed opgeleid personeel worden tegen elkaar afgewogen.

Dr. Nanni Noël-Hermes & Ansbert De Cleene: ‘Soil corrosion: lab- and field testing to protect your structure in advance’
Soil corrosion is a complex and highly variable process with potentially large impact on the lifetime of installed structures. To increase durability of buried structures, knowledge on the corrosivity of specific and local soil environment is advised. Based on a site inspection, soil and MIC analysis, an estimation can be made on the corrosivity of a soil allowing identification of future or existing corrosion issues. Additional laboratory and field corrosion tests followed by a failure analysis through visual and/or advanced characterization support a more accurately evaluation of the corrosivity of a given soil environment.

Dr. Reynier I. Revilla at MES 2023: ‘Surface Treatment of Additive Manufactured Metals: New Questions, New Challenges, New Surfaces!’
Metal additive manufacturing (MAM) is considered one of the enabling technologies for Industry 4.0. Nowadays, several metals and alloys can be processed by MAM. However, due to the special fabrication conditions associated with MAM, 3D-printed parts contain unique microstructural features and defects never seen during conventional manufacturing, which can greatly influence surface treatment and corrosion performance of these materials.

Alexander Lutz keynote: ‘Gerecycleerde aluminium profielen – Kunnen wij de kwaliteit van het product verzekeren?’
Door recycling kunnen wij de CO2 bilans van aluminium profielen meer dan 10 keer verbeteren. Toch vandaag is de vrees nog altijd groot dat té hoge recycling gehaltes problemen gaan veroorzaken en zulke legeringen aan de huidige eisen niet gaan voldoen. Door de samenwerking tussen VUB en EMAX konden wij het recycling gehalte van Al6060 duidelijk verhogen en vaststellen dat ook legeringen met een hoog gehalte aan sporenelementen de testen van kwaliteitslabels doorstaan.

Timothy Van Caelenberghe presents at MES2023: ‘Preventing Corrosion Under Insulation with Fiber Optic Sensing Technology.’
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) can be a significant threat for chemical plants and refineries. New non-invasive technology that can continuously monitor the potential for corrosion under insulation on every meter of your critical infrastructure has been tested and validated in the field. It will be discussed how this technology, based on fiber optic sensing, can monitor and prevent corrosion under insulation. After an introduction on the technology, some use cases on pipelines and tanks will be presented.

We are excited to announce Marcel Van Wonderen as the first keynote speaker at #MES2023!
On 15 June, he will be presenting ‘𝘔𝘙𝘖 (𝘔𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘳 & 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘭) 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴. 𝘛𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴 & 𝘐𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴’ to tell us all about aviation maintenance and its developments. To be competitive in the maintenance market, you will have to constantly bring in innovative new techniques. In his presentation, Marcel Van Wonderen will show the current different techniques and what the future will bring with regard to new materials, new processes, predictive maintenance, artificial intelligence, etc.

MES 2023: about 100 experts in sustainable materials and surface technology on 1 day!
Sustainability is no longer a choice: scarcity of raw materials, but also the climate and energy transition make investment in sustainable materials and surface techniques essential. To help the industry on its way and to offer them insight into solutions and opportunities, Mikrocentrum, Vereniging ION and VOM organize for the second time the networking event Materials+Eurofinish+Surface (MES). MES 2023 will take place on June 15 at NH Koningshof in Veldhoven (NL).
