Corrosion Scientist
Corrosion Scientists study the deterioration of materials due to chemical reactions with their surroundings. They use their knowledge of chemistry, physics, and engineering to develop and apply methods to prevent or slow down corrosion.
Nature of Work
Corrosion Scientists typically work in laboratories or offices, but they may also spend time in the field collecting data or monitoring corrosion processes. They may work with a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and ceramics. Corrosion Scientists may also work with engineers and other scientists to design and test new materials and corrosion-resistant coatings.
