Joey Kish, PhD, is Scientific Director of the McMaster’s Centre for Automotive Materials and Corrosion. He also leads a research team focused on corrosion and its control of structural engineering alloys in terms of determining influence of metallurgical aspects on the controlling anode and cathode processes across multi-length scales from macro (weld zones) down to nano (grain boundary and second phase particles). He joined McMaster in 2008 after spending 10 years working in the industry: two years as a Materials Specialist with NORAM Engineering and Constructors Ltd. and eight years as a Corrosion Scientist at the Pulp and Paper Research Institute of Canada.

Electrochemical Techniques for Onsite Surface Qualification

Pharmaceutical critical utilities are typically built of 316L stainless steel; nevertheless, surface degradation has been reported due to the occurrence of different phenomena. This article aims to explain how field electrochemical techniques using a portable tool can be an effective method for surface inspection, qualification, and monitoring. The surface finish assessment considered...
