AEC Welcome and Remote Earth and CP Designs

Presenter Dr Bruce Ackland is a Corrosion and Cathodic Protection Scientist, he obtained a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Physics at Monash University in 1979 and a Doctor of Philosophy in 1984, also at Monash University in the Department of Materials Engineering. Bruce has worked in the corrosion and cathodic protection industry since 1982, forming Bruce Ackland and Associates in 1985. Cathodic protection projects have involved work throughout Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. Bruce maintains an active role as a member and chairman in Australian Standards committees; is the current Chairman of the Australian Electrolysis Committee and is an accredited ACA lecturer and Corrosion Technologist.

Lab Investigation of Electrolysis Effects on a 164 Year Old Pipe

Presenter Candice Blackney is currently a Senior Engineer in Corrosion Management at Greater Western Water. She specialises in the cathodic protection of pipelines and has an interest in sewer corrosion too. She has been involved in the corrosion industry for exactly 11 years now, starting her journey in corrosion at Melbourne Water as a vacation student at the age of 19. The path into the corrosion industry was very clear for her and starting in high school where she was fascinated with redox reactions and how atoms interacted. She has a Bachelor of Engineering (Materials) from Monash University and also worked as a contractor, where she designed ICCP systems and managed water corrosion maintenance and minor capital contracts.

Hydrogen Embrittlement of Pipelines and Possible CP Effects

Presenter Mike Yongjun Tan is a Professor in Applied Electrochemistry and Corrosion Technologies at Deakin University in Australia. He is also a Research Program Leader of the Energy Pipelines Cooperative Research Centre. Dr Tan’s principal teaching and research interests are in corrosion science and engineering and their applications for enhancing the reliability and durability of civil and industrial infrastructures. He contributed to electrochemical methods for corrosion testing, monitoring and prediction and corrosion inhibitor and anti-corrosion coating research. He is author of some 150 publications and a book entitled “Heterogeneous Electrode Processes and Localised Corrosion”(2012 John Wiley & Sons).

Examination of a Single Column Pantograph Disconnection Failure

In this presentation, Roger Costanzi discusses a tubular aluminium single column pantograph disconnecting arm from an 82kV disconnector, that was received for examination following failure adjacent to the weld joining the tubular arm to a clevis. Failure of the disconnector arm was a result of exfoliation corrosion arising from the formation of precipitates in the weld heat affected zone (HAZ) joining the extruded tubes to a cast aluminium alloy clevis.

Stress Corrosion Cracking of Cable Bolts

In this presentation, Judy Turnbull addresses the results of the examination of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of both smooth surface and ribbed wires used in cable bolts. Judy Turnbull is a consultant Metallurgist with Bureau Veritas, undertaking component failure investigations. She has held this role since 2013. Judy has more than 30 years of experience in the engineering field, having worked in heavy engineering, hard rock mining, concrete, oil & gas and pipeline inspection as well as information technology.

Initial Corrosion Behaviour of Spheroidal Graphite Cast Iron and Rust Evaluation in Atmospheric Environment

For the initial corrosion behaviour of spheroidal graphite cast iron in atmospheric corrosion environment, it is quite different from that of carbon steel and weathering steel. This study focused on the initial corrosion behaviours affected by the graphite and Cu in the spheroidal graphite cast iron, the atmospheric exposure test and wet-dry cyclic test were conducted. This presentation from Ichiro Dote, was given at the 2021 Corrosion and Prevention Conference. Ichiro Dote has studied in the Department of Civil Engineering, at Kyushu University as a working doctor from 2018. Where his major field of study is atmospheric corrosion of cast iron. Right now, he is living in Fukuoka, Japan.
