George Engelhardt

Senior Corrosion Scientist and OLI Fellow

 

Role

George's role at OLI is to undertake scientific research in the fields of corrosion and electrochemical technology

 

Accomplishments

George has developed fast algorithms for predicting pitting, stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue and crevice corrosion growth rates.

 

Author of the OLI EVS model in the Corrosion Analyzer, George developed a Monte Carlo Simulation method for estimating localized corrosion damage on the base of deterministic models

 

George has also developed numerical and analytical methods for solving mass transfer equations in electrolytes under porous deposits, and he has developed models and methods of experimental investigations of bi-layer passive films
