The Brazilian Corrosion Congress is one of the country's most important events of the area. In parallel with technical activities,
the event also offers:
| |
- Industrial Exhibition
- Technical Photo Contest
- Technical-Commercial Sessions
|
- Courses

- Brazilian Corrosion Committee CB-43
- cb43@abraco.org.br
Brazilian Committees are bodies created by institutions and officially constituted by the Brazilian Technical Standards
Association (ABNT), according to specified criteria, with the purpose of managing standardization activities within the
pre-established scope of action.
The area of action of CB-43 covers corrosion of metals and their alloys, with respect to terminology, requirements, evaluation,
classification, test methods and general matters.
CB-43 works today with four Study Committees:
