University of Virginia Student Chapter

摘要

The newly reinvigorated University of Virginia Student Chapter is proud to report on the successful launch of its seminar series in July 2014. With the help of Robert G. Kelly, the chapter hosted their inaugural speaker, Raul B. Rebak from GE Global Research in Schenectady, NY. Dr. Rebak presented his work on "Electrochemical Processes Controlling Localized Corrosion in Passivating Nickel Alloys." His presentation showcased how the corrosive or inhibiting processes associated with nickel alloy, electrochemistry are dictated by the alloys inherent metallurgy and characteristic electrochemical parameters, as well as by the species present in the aqueous environment in contact with the alloy.
