Interviews . . . "The Academician Interview" marine anti-corrosion pioneer - Hou Baorong.

In order to vigorously carry forward the spirit of scientists, accelerate scientific and technological innovation in Shandong Province, better display the achievements of science and technology in Shandong Province, show the style of Chinese academicians, Shandong Provincial Science and Technology Department and Shandong Radio and Television, jointly launched a full-media series of special programs " Academic Interviews", record academicians bravely shoulder the heavy burden, determined to innovate the story of scientific research. This issue as a guest - Hou Baorong.
, born in Cao County, Shandong Province, is currently a researcher at the Institute of Oceanographic Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a doctoral tutor,

. As a well-known marine corrosion and protection expert in China, he has been engaged in marine corrosion and protection technology research for a long time, put forward the concept of "marine corrosion environment", established the theoretical system of Marine corrosion environment in China, and made important contributions to the study and corrosion protection of China's marine corrosion environment.
and protection is a country's security problems, economic problems, but also the national economy and people's livelihood, ecological civilization and resource conservation issues. Corrosion problems are common in all walks of life, with hidden, sudden characteristics, every 90 seconds in the world there is a meal of steel corrosion into rust, serious corrosion will not only lead to structural damage to facilities and equipment, shorten life, but also may cause sudden catastrophic accidents, environmental pollution, causing major property damage and casualties.
is becoming more and more closely related to human life and the oceans, and the development of marine economy is accompanied by the corrosion of the marine environment. Among all kinds of corrosive environments, the ocean is the worst corrosive environment. Waves of flowers, blue sea ripples, in our view mysterious, vast and beautiful sea, but Hou Baorong for decades has been to be convinced of the sea "eat iron tiger." Ships on the sea surface, bridges in the sea, iron ropes on the embankment, attached to the surface of these objects rusty spots, hidden huge security risks. According to statistics, about 25%-40% of corrosion losses can be avoided. China is one of the longest coastlines in the world, how to prevent and reduce the loss of marine corrosion, improve China's marine anti-corrosion awareness and scientific and technological level, is Hou Baorong academician has been on the run for 50 years.
Over the past 50 years, Hou Baorong's footprints have spread to many terminals and ports at home and abroad, and he and his research team have made many achievements in the field of marine anti-corrosion: second prize of national scientific and technological progress, chief scientist of marine engineering related fields of national science and technology support program, shandong province science and technology highest award, "He Liang Heli" technology progress award, Shandong Province first prize of technological invention, international corrosion organization NACE science and technology achievement award, international corrosion organization NACE outstanding organization award, China's highest corrosion protection award.
As one of the leaders of marine corrosion environmental research and marine corrosion and protection in China, Hou Baorong has devoted his whole life to marine corrosion and protection, and he has developed a series of new corrosion protection technologies with his life's knowledge, filling the gaps in relevant domestic technology fields.
Corrosion protection is an important part of the development of the "Belt and Road" strategy, corrosion prevention and control is also a reflection of a country's civilization and prosperity, more and more talents in China's corrosion protection theory and technological development to contribute to the future, I believe that there will be more new discoveries, new inventions to prevent corrosion, China will also be able to become the world's advanced corrosion protection power!
