High Temperature Corrosion
and Corrosion Protection Laboratory
Our Research
The high temperature corrosion and corrosion protection laboratory at Montana State University supports fundamental and applied research into various materials and their behavior in extreme environments. Current projects include: the development of protective coatings on planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) metallic interconnects; characterizing corrosion mechanisms of materials in precisely-controlled exposures; and, testing materials in poly-crystalline silicon production environments.
Area specific resistance (ASR), chemical and phase composition, microstructure, adhesion, cohesion and thermal stability are assessed using a myriad of complementary in-situ and post-mortem analytical techniques (see Capabilities pages).
Prof. Emertitus Max Deibert, Asst. Prof. Paul Gannon and Preston White supervise laboratory operations and student research. Currently the laboratory group has 2 MS Candidates; Kathyn Hoyt and Girey Arinov; 3 visiting research scholars: Thibaut Compagnon; Emmanuel Sorrel and Pietro Gennoccio; and, 3 undergraduate researchers: Chandra Macauley; Eric Simms and Brian Ellingwood. The laboratory is located at 329 Cobleigh Hall in MSU's Chemical Engineering Department
