This research direction focuses on addressing the critical needs of national major projects and essential equipment for secure and reliable service. Our work delves into the environmental service behavior and failure mechanisms of surface protection materials, resolving fundamental issues related to the initiation and propagation of material corrosion, as well as developing protective measures. By elucidating the scientific principles behind extending material service life and enhancing durability, our research contributes to the development of high-performance, multifunctional surface protection materials and advanced life assessment technologies. The ultimate value of our research lies in ensuring the operational safety and longevity of key national infrastructure and equipment, thereby supporting the sustained reliability and efficiency of critical facilities.
