The 7th Workshop on Sustainable Surface Engineering for Aerospace and Defense will be held at Grand Hyatt of Denver Colorado. August 21-23, 2018.

Increased environmental and occupational, safety, and health regulations in the United States and Europe have impacted production and use of chromates, cadmium, and other chemicals in aerospace and defense surface treatment processes.  As a result, there is increasing need for environmentally benign alternatives that meet or exceed the performance requirements.  This workshop will cover all aspects of alternative coatings and surface treatments, with emphasis on performance, service data, approvals and implementation of clean coatings:

Dr. Daniel Brown is a research development engineer at the Applied Research Laboratory at the Pennsylvania State University. He is working on a project to improve buried, unexploded ordnance detection and classification by designing, constructing and testing a sensor system that is deployed from a shallow-water surface vessel.
