معرفی
Professor Joey Kish is a faculty member in the Materials Science and Engineering department at McMaster University, where he serves as Director of the Centre for Automotive Materials and Corrosion (CAMC). His expertise focuses on corrosion prediction and protection of structural materials for automotive, aerospace, energy generation, and chemical processing industries.
- Education: Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering from McMaster University (1999)
- Professional Affiliations: NACE International, SAE International, ASM International, ECS
Research Interests include:
- Hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms in non-metallic inclusions
- Disbondment risks in pipeline coatings
- Filamentary corrosion control in magnesium alloys
- High-temperature oxidation of multi-layered steels
- Corrosion in biomass-fired power boilers and effluent systems
Notable Contributions involve galvanic passivation models for stainless steel in sulphuric acid environments and collaborative research on automotive materials degradation. CAMC houses specialized facilities including:
- Galvanizing simulator
- Meniscograph for wetting analysis
- Salt spray chambers (ASTM B117, SAE J2334)
- Potentiostats (Gamry, Bio-logic, Solatron)
- Uniscan M370 Scanning Electrochemical Workstation
Laboratory & Collaborations: CAMC partners with industry leaders on automotive material innovations, with research themes spanning light-weight systems, corrosion protection, and joining techniques. The center evolved from legacy groups including the Walter Smeltzer Corrosion Laboratory.
