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.
Use of an electrochemical split cell technique to evaluate the influence of shewanella oneidensis activities on corrosion of carbon steel — Publication

Are cracks born from pits?
This article describes the different forms of environmentally assisted cracking that can affect low alloy steels and corrosion resistant alloys in the oil & gas industry.
The Gorgon Project – Subsea Production Systems
This post describes the Gorgon and Jansz field developments, two of the most complex engineering endeavors in offshore oil and gas history.
Use of electrochemical techniques to determine localized corrosion resistance of 25% Cr Super Duplex Stainless Steels: effect of tungsten — Presentation
Does tungsten in super duplex stainless steel improve localized corrosion resistance?
In this presentation, the pitting and crevice corrosion resistance of super duplex stainless steels with different tungsten contents was analyzed using various electrochemical techniques.
The work was presented at the 16th Nordic Corrosion Conference.
Pre-exposure embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking of magnesium alloys in chloride solutions — Presentation
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.
