STATEMENT OF
QUALIFICATIONS |
|
Mr. Krantz, Corrosion Laboratory Supervisor
at Corrosion Testing Laboratories, Inc., has been working in the fields of
corrosion and materials engineering, metallography and laboratory testing
for over 20 years. His laboratory experience ranges from simple bench-top
experiments to complicated process simulations. His metallographic
experience covers a wide range of materials and techniques. |
|
Mr. Krantz received a Bachelors of Science
in Industrial Education from Iowa State University. He is a
certified NACE International Materials Selection/Design Specialist. |
|
At Corrosion Testing Laboratories, Inc., Mr.
Krantz supervises the corrosion laboratory. The laboratory performs a
diverse range of corrosion tests to help clients solve material related
problems. He is knowledgeable in a wide range of corrosion testing
practices including immersion testing, process simulations, galvanic
corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, high temperature, electrochemical,
in-situ and environmental methods. |
|
Previously, as a Technical Specialist at GAF
Chemical Company, Mr. Krantz was responsible for the metallurgy and R & D
laboratory for the Organometallics Group. His responsibilities included
metallographic preparation of fine powders for SEM analysis, process
simulations and product treatments for atmospheric corrosion resistance. |
|
As a Senior Technician at Procedyne
Corporation, he was involved in the development and application of various heat
treatments using fluid bed technology for wear and corrosion resistance of
alloy steels and stainless steels. Mr. Krantz assembled, operated and
maintained a chemical vapor deposition pilot plant for the application of
titanium nitride and carbide coatings. He performed metallography on
processed materials to verify desired results. |
