We invite you to register (no cost) by email, indicating your name
and surname.

You can submit an abstract for an oral presentation to
patrimoinemetallique<-at->gmail<.>com

The deadline for submissions is January 28, 2016.

Topic 1: non-toxic treatments for protecting corroded metallic
objects

    In the session 1, the mechanisms of the different developed
    treatments will be presented through the characterization of the
    layers formed from the interaction between the treatment
    solution and the surface of the objects

    Session 2 will be aimed at evaluating the inhibition
    performances of the different treatments based on
    electrochemical measurements and weathering tests in climate
    chambers and real sites using reference coupons or metallic
    artefacts representative of historical collections

    Session 3 will be dedicated to the synergic or comparative tests
    of the different treatments with the validation of the
    application modes following the conservation-restoration
    deontology

Topic2: treatments of corroded metallic objects in the presence of
paint layers

    Session 4 will be dedicated to the presentation of the problems
    encountered in the context of conservation of painted metal
    collections.

    In session 5, exchanges will focus on the impact of the
    treatments on the conservation of paint layers at the surface of
    metallic objects.

One goal of this highly multidisciplinary workshop is to ensure the
dissemination of the presentations and exchanges between the
different actors in charge of the conservation of metallic cultural
heritage.  It will assess the possibility of publication of specific
protocols for the full implementation of these protection systems.
A report of this workshop will be carried out and may be returned in
the form of a document to assist professionals in charge of applying
these treatments.  This assessment will also be used to offer new
research opportunities and enable the implementation of
collaborative projects.

Abstracts should be sent before January 28, 2016 to
patrimoinemetallique<-at->gmail<.>com

Abstracts should not exceed 500 words.

They could be submitted in French or in English.  Presentations
could be delivered in French or in English with projected
documentation in the other language (15 minutes + 5 minutes for
questions).
