Study of the corrosion mechanisms of steels corroded without and with cathodic protection on the site of metal wrecks sunk during the Second World War (HF)

Thousands of metal wrecks dating from the first two world conflicts lie along the French coast. These wrecks degrade under the effect of corrosion and collapse under the simultaneous effect of the increasing weight of the marine concretions and the reduction of the thicknesses of the structures by corrosion. The degradation of submerged metal wrecks has major consequences for cultural and historical heritage, since with their collapse a whole part of our history is erased. In addition, they can be the source of the release of polluting compounds and metals. The degradation of wrecks can therefore have dramatic consequences not only for heritage but also for the environment. To protect these wrecks and prevent them from disappearing completely, the project proposes to implement cathodic protection treatments on these wrecks. Cathodic protection is recognized as an effective method to protect steel from corrosion. Cathodic protection, commonly used in off-shore environments, in naval and port contexts, is well mastered for new materials launched. However, implementing it on submerged metal structures already colonized and covered with thick layers of corrosion products is a real scientific and technical challenge. To do this, the project has a twofold objective: on the one hand to gain a better understanding of the degradation mechanisms of wrecks, on the other hand to implement cathodic protection treatments on the wrecks. The specific methodology developed during the project consists of working on two wrecks located in two different environments: one in the English Channel and the other in the Mediterranean. These wrecks will be studied from the metal core to corrosion products and the links they develop with its environments close to the sedimentary layers to the characterization of biodiversity with or without cathodic protection. The first results obtained during on-site measurements of wrecks coupled with laboratory experiments concerning the electrical current requirements for cathodic protection have already been initiated. The characterization using a multi-scale approach for the study of the layers of corrosion products and the biodiversity on samples taken from the two wrecks (sheet metal from the wrecks, sediments, water) are in progress.

Postdoctoral researcher position funded by the European project PROCRAFT (PROtection and Conservation of Heritage AirCRAFT)

https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/597678

The postdoctoral researcher position is funded by the European project PROCRAFT (PROtection and Conservation of Heritage AirCRAFT. The general objective of this project is to develop innovative procedures and treatments for the protection of WWII planes and/or parts in aluminum alloys (mainly Duralumin).

The aim of this postdoctoral position is to characterize the protective properties of new conservation-restoration coatings by comparing them to the protections currently used in conservation-restoration. It will also require to characterise the original materials (painted aluminium alloys) in order to adapt the experimental method to the different cases encountered.

The work will be carried out mainly by the application of electrochemical techniques usually applied for the evaluation of organic coatings on metals in the presence or absence of corrosion inhibitors, before or after ageing. It will also involve the use of characterization methods (observation and analysis) of metallic materials and original coatings (painting). This part of the work will be carried out on a corpus of ancient aeronautical aluminum materials (WWII).

This work will be carried out in close collaboration with specialists in heritage materials and scientific professionals in conservation-restoration, also directly involved in this project.

Duties will include but not be limited to: first aid and documentation of recovered artifacts, examination and assessment of artifacts including by x-radiography; treatment of artifacts recovered from a marine environment using established and approved methods; maintenance and operation of conservation lab facilities and equipment; compliance with DNCR and ECU environmental health and safety requirements; maintaining written, computer, and photographic documentation of artifacts and their treatments; reporting on the condition of artifacts; preparation of archive (artifacts and records) for transfer to museum; supervision and training of student interns and volunteers; participation in public education and outreach activities, such as lab tours, presentations, seminars, and web site. The QAR Conservator will be a member of the QAR Lab team in Greenville, NC, located at East Carolina University’s West Research Campus. The QAR Conservator may be required to work away from the QAR Lab, for example: at other DNCR locations, at other organizations and institutions to give talks, or present show and tell demonstrations (on average one day a month). Therefore, good oral and written communication is a must.  Some weekend work may also be necessary – on average 2-3 times a year. During field recovery operations, the QAR Conservator may be required to work away from base for several days, even weeks at a time. The QAR Conservator will report to the QAR Senior Conservator.

Doctoral studentship in Archaelogy

https://www.sh.se/english/sodertorn-university/meet-sodertorn-university/this-is-sodertorn-university/vacant-positions

Södertörns högskola (Södertörn University) in south Stockholm is a dynamic institute of higher education with a unique profile and high academic standard. A large proportion of the university staff holds doctorates and there is a strong link between undergraduate education and research. Södertörn University has around 11 000 students and 840 employees. Undergraduate and postgraduate education and research are conducted in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Life Sciences, Technology and Education. Our site is in Flemingsberg. Södertörn University is an equal opportunities employer.

Archaeology focuses on human beings and their culture and society, from ancient times to the present day. Using material remains as their primary source material, archaeologists interpret what life was like at different times and in different cultural contexts. Archaeology at Södertörn University also emphasises a critical perspective and the importance of relating archaeology to current societal issues. Archaeological research is thus not only about the past, but entails equal emphasis on the understanding of people as cultural beings. One specialisation offered at Södertörn University is maritime archaeology, as the MARIS research institute is able to support new projects in a range of ways.
