[The American Society of Naval Engineers](http://www.navalengineers.org/) is hosting its annual conference, [MegaRust](http://www.navalengineers.org/Symposia/MegaRust-2019), this week in Virginia. The event aims to combat corrosion issues among naval vessels and spur dialogue between government and commercial organizations.

[Corrosion is a serious threat to the lifespan of naval ships](https://www.naval-group.com/en/parole-expert/marine-anti-corrosion/), seaplanes and can also lead to major expenses. With steel being the most prominent material in naval equipment, making the need to combat rust extremely important.
