CORROSION 2016: Mechanisms of Localized Corrosion Symposium – In Memoriam of Professor José R. Galvele

by

Dr. Ajit Mishra and I have organized the upcoming TEG 407X (STG 60) Mechanisms of localized corrosion in Memoriam of Professor José Galvele (March 1937 – August 2011). The year 2016 marked the 40th anniversary of Prof. Galvele’s seminal “Transport Processes and the Mechanism of Pitting of Metals” publication. Our goal for the symposium was to bring the best of industry and academia under one roof. We will be honored by the presence of distinguished guest speakers from both industry and academia. A list of lecturers and scope of their talks is presented below.

Pre-exposure embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking of magnesium alloys in chloride solutions — Presentation

by

Do magnesium alloys suffer environmentally assisted cracking?
In this work, presented at CORROSION 2014, we investigated the hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking of magnesium alloy AZ31B in chloride solutions.

Corrosion behavior of buried pipeline in presence of AC stray current in a controlled environment (Paper no. C2015-5588)

This blog entry provides the link to download our final NACE CORROSION 2015 publication on corrosion of carbon steel in the presence of alternate currents (AC). Elmira Ghanbari presents a model, based on fundamental corrosion principles, which estimates the effect of an applied AC interference on Faradaic processes leading to corrosion.
