Metals under the pressure of sustainable development

Video
Prof. Dr. Ingrid Milošev
Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia and Valdoltra Orthopaedic Hospital, Ankaran, Slovenia
Ingrid Milošev is a scientific councilor at the Jožef Stefan Institute and a full professor at the Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate School. In the past, she served as a member of the Scientific Council of the Jožef Stefan Institute and as head of the Department of Physical and Organic Chemistry. In 2025 she received the prestigious European Corrosion Medal from the European Federation of Corrosion.

Due to the growth of the global population and the rapid development of modern and green technologies, the consumption of metals is continuously increasing. The life cycle of metals begins with the extraction of natural resources, continues with processing and the manufacture of metal products, and concludes with their recycling or disposal. Corrosion plays a key role in this cycle, as most metals gradually deteriorate when exposed to the environment. Corrosion products form on the surface, differing from the base metal in their chemical, physical, and mechanical properties. As a result, the functional performance of metal products or structures declines, along with their energy efficiency, productivity, and ultimately their safety. Metal corrosion also represents a major economic challenge. Therefore, the efficient use of natural resources and the extension of the service life of metallic materials are essential conditions for a more sustainable future. In the lecture, I will present the main methods of corrosion protection, which play a central role in extending product lifetime and reducing the environmental impact of industry.

The lecture will be held in Slovenian.
