Recently, the European Federation of Corrosion Award Committee passed the review and approved the award of 2021 Honorary Fellow of Professor Li Xiaogang from the Institute of Advanced Materials Technology, University of Science and Technology Beijing, in recognition of his long-term experience in the field of global corrosion science and engineering. Outstanding contribution made.
As the world's largest corrosion academic organization, the European Corrosion Federation was established in 1955. The secretariat is located in London, England, Frankfurt, Germany and Paris, France. It is composed of 38 corrosion societies and professional organizations from 25 countries, representing more than 25,000 people worldwide. The broad interests of corrosion scientists and engineers. The title of Fellowship of the European Corrosion Federation was established in 2015. It is one of the highest academic honors of the society and the competition is extremely fierce. From 2015 to 2019, only 7 scholars from Belgium, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and France, including Professor Anthony Bubai, a well-known expert in the field of corrosion, won this honor. The award of Professor Li Xiaogang this time is the first time that the European Corrosion Federation has awarded the honor to scholars outside the EU countries.
Li Xiaogang, Professor of University of Science and Technology Beijing, Director of National Material Corrosion and Protection Science Data Center, Head of the Big Data Technology Team of Beijing Material Genetic Engineering High-precision Innovation Center, Chief of the 973 Project "Key Technology Foundation of Corrosion and Protection of Marine Engineering Equipment Materials" A scientist, concurrently serving as the executive vice chairman of the Chinese Society for Corrosion and Protection, and an advisory editorial board member of the internationally renowned journal "Corrosion Science". He has been engaged in material corrosion and corrosion-resistant steel metallurgical engineering research for a long time, put forward the academic viewpoint and research system of material corrosion big data, and developed a series of material big data intelligent monitoring technology and database technology. The influence of alloy composition and metallurgical process parameters on the origin and evolution mechanism of low-alloy steel environmental corrosion has been systematically obtained; a new concept of low-alloy corrosion-resistant steel composition design and control that conforms to the full life cycle of the typical service environment in my country has been put forward; low-alloy corrosion-resistant steel has been established; New theory of metallurgical full-process control of corrosion resistance of alloy steel; invented a series of new low-alloy corrosion-resistant steel grades and realized industrialized production; developed a new standard system for high-quality low-alloy corrosion-resistant steel; solved a number of major national projects Corrosion problems of steel materials. He won 2 second prizes of National Science and Technology Progress Award as the first completion person, and won the highest academic award, technical achievement award and honorary title of fellowship from the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) W.R. Whitney.
