World Corrosion Awareness Day 2026
Did You Know? | The Corrosion Conversation
📅 April 24, 2026
Corrosion affects nearly everything we rely on, yet its impact often goes unnoticed until something fails. World Corrosion Awareness Day (WCAD) 2026 invites the world to change that.
Led by AMPP in collaboration with the World Corrosion Organization (WCO), European Federation of Corrosion (EFC), and International Corrosion Council (ICC), this year’s global campaign focuses on sparking conversation, correcting misconceptions, and making corrosion prevention relevant to everyday life.
From safety and infrastructure resilience to sustainability and economic impact, WCAD 2026 uses short, engaging, social-first content to connect technical expertise with real-world consequences and highlight the professionals working behind the scenes to protect critical assets.
How You Can Participate
WCAD 2026 runs April 1–24, culminating in a synchronized global activation across five continents on April 24. Individuals, chapters, students, companies, and partners are encouraged to join by:
- Sharing campaign content
- Contributing localized or educational posts
- Highlighting real-world corrosion challenges and solutions
- Showcasing the people behind corrosion prevention
When sharing content, please tag AMPP and our partners (WCO, EFC, ICC, and others where applicable) and use the #WCAD2026 hashtag to help connect the global conversation.
Together, we can turn awareness into understanding and elevate the conversation around corrosion’s impact on safety, sustainability, and infrastructure worldwide.
