Materials Science Tech Talk
Materials Science Tech Talk
Register for our upcoming, free, 60-minute Tech Talk led by Dr. Robert Bianco, senior materials scientist and technical lead for Swagelok's Additive Manufacturing Program, to better understand how to choose the proper materials to keep your fluid systems leak-tight and operating efficiently. You will also learn how specific alloys resist corrosion, how different materials behave, and how industry standards impact your material options.
Topics covered will include:
- Introduction to high-performance alloys
- Alloy performance in corrosive environments
- Selection of special alloy fluid system components
- Alloys for use in specific corrosive media
About the Speaker
Dr. Robert Bianco, Senior Materials Scientist, joined Swagelok in May of 2017 as a materials expert and technical lead for Swagelok’s Additive Manufacturing Program. He has worked for nearly 30 years in an applied R&D organization finding opportunities for providing value-added solutions to customers such as developing materials for unique applications and protecting materials from degradation in their environments.
Bob earned a B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Metallurgical Engineering from The Ohio State University. His technical background and expertise includes advanced manufacturing such as 3D printing, development of high-temperature structural materials, materials characterization and performance testing, failure analyses/investigations, and surface modifications for improving corrosion resistance (electroplating and CVD/diffusion coatings). Bob has taught as an adjunct professor at the University of Connecticut Institute of Materials Science on the environmental durability of aerospace materials.
Bob is a Fellow with the American Society of Materials International (ASMI) and is the Swagelok representative on special committees at ASME, SAE, and SME related to alloy development and the introduction of pressure-containing components fabricated by 3D printing.
