International corrosion associations address corrosion prevention and control measures on this day annually and promote sustainable development practices.   AMPP plans to recognize this important day to further its mission of “advancing materials performance to protect society, assets, and the environment.” With help from our international member community, AMPP chapters from around the world, and AMPP staff, we will flood social media with content about the impact corrosion plays in society, careers in corrosion, and corrosion prevention.   Get Involved with World Corrosion Awareness Day You can get involved, too! Beginning tomorrow, AMPP will kick off a campaign called “Corrosion in Everyday Life.” We are calling on you to share images of corrosion you see around town via your social media channels. Flood Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and even TikTok with corrosion images using the tags #AMPPWCAD and #CorrosionInEverydayLife, and the phrases “Let’s Prevent Corrosion!” or “Help Stop Corrosion Before it Starts.” Make sure to include the location of where your photos are taken.   Let’s ensure key stakeholders and even our connections understand the significant impact corrosion has on the operation of critical infrastructure and even our real world.
