Ke Wang

Dr. Ke Wang is an Adjunct Research Fellow at Curtin University's WASM School of Minerals, Energy and Chemical Engineering, affiliated with the Curtin Corrosion Centre. His research focuses on corrosion mechanisms of metals, particularly stainless steel and additively manufactured materials, with expertise in pitting corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and electrochemical processes. He has contributed to understanding corrosion behavior in diverse environments, including aerated solutions and additive manufacturing processes.

His work integrates experimental techniques with computational modeling, such as revisiting the Copson Curve for pitting analysis and developing methodologies to study two-dimensional pitting mechanisms. He collaborates extensively on corrosion monitoring technologies, including electrode arrays for locating corrosion processes and analyzing corrosion under disbonded coatings.

Dr. Wang's research spans theoretical and applied aspects of corrosion science, addressing challenges in infrastructure protection, biomedical implants, and advanced manufacturing materials. His recent studies emphasize the critical pit stability product, salt film effects on corrosion, and material performance under extreme conditions.
