Metallurgical Engineer, Metallurgist, Corrosion Engineering Consultant, Failure Analysis, Forensic Engineer, Expert

Involved in projects including the evaluation and selection of metallic and non-metallic materials, corrosion failures, explosions and their prevention, assessment on waste package materials for spent nuclear fuels, and technical marketing.

Chief Corrosion Engineer, Wah Chang, Albany, Oregon

Established a corrosion group with properly equipped facilities. Conducted numerous projects to better understand the corrosion properties of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum and their alloys. Used the generated data to identify similarities and differences among these materials. Developed suitable applications for these materials in chemical, hydrometallurgical, pulp and paper, and waste management industries. Developed corrosion control measures for these materials in challenging environments, including alloying and other metallurgical modifications, inhibitors, electrochemical techniques, and fabrication procedures. Identified root causes of many unique failures. Started a new task group on reactive metals at NACE. Organized two international conferences on the corrosion and applications of reactive metals.
