Water Power Technologies Office R&D Deep Dive Webinar Series: Marine Fasteners and Corrosion Concerns

Many marine energy devices are built in a modular fashion, to be assembled on site before their deployment. This means that one of the keys to a marine device’s success can be some of the smallest parts—the connectors that hold these pieces together. In this webinar, researchers from Sandia National Laboratory and Florida Atlantic University will talk about the testing program being used to investigate how different fasteners and interconnects hold up to marine conditions.
