معرفی
Professor Geraint Williams is a faculty member at Swansea University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, specializing in Materials Science and Engineering. His research focuses on corrosion science, forensic science, and chemical sensors, with particular expertise in localized corrosion mechanisms and advanced electrochemical techniques.
Williams investigates corrosion protection for metals including steel, zinc, magnesium, aluminum, and stainless steel. His current research includes developing novel anti-corrosion coatings as alternatives to Cr(VI)-based systems using scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) technology, and studying localized corrosion in magnesium alloys via scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET). His forensic research involves fingerprint visualization on metals using SKP, which has garnered significant media attention.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on corrosion mechanisms, smart-release inhibitors, and alloy protection. His work consistently explores electrochemical behavior across diverse metal systems, with emerging themes including zinc-aluminum-magnesium coatings, germanium microalloying effects, and innovative characterization methods like scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy.
