STATEMENT OF
QUALIFICATIONS |
|
Mr. Sherman, Senior Corrosion Technologist at
Corrosion Testing Laboratories, Inc. has over fifteen years experience in
corrosion testing and related materials analysis and equipment inspection.
|
|
Mr. Sherman received an Associate of Applied
Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology from Delaware Technical
& Community College. In addition to the requirements for the Associate
Degree, he completed course work for two semesters each in AC/DC circuit
analysis and analog electronics. Mr. Sherman has also completed course work
in the undergraduate engineering curriculum at the University of
Delaware, including classes in chemistry, mathematics, and physics. |
|
At Corrosion Testing Laboratories, Mr.
Sherman’s primary responsibilities are in the corrosion laboratory,
performing standardized (ASTM, NACE, MTI, ISO, etc.) tests as well as
customized and standardized in-house tests. In addition, Mr. Sherman works
closely with in-house engineering staff, as well as under the direction of
client engineers, in laboratory, machine-shop, and metallographic support
involving materials evaluations and failure analysis, in routine situations
and in support of litigation work. The experience he has gained in a
support role has allowed him to function as a lead investigator in a number
of failure analyses. He has performed all aspects of metallographic
preparations of a wide range of alloys, including steel, stainless steel,
nickel-base alloys, copper and copper alloys, aluminum, zirconium, and
titanium, and has performed in-situ metallography (replication) in
support of plant maintenance operations. Mr. Sherman also performs a range
of chemical laboratory analyses, including soil and water analysis. His
seventeen years of experience in the corrosion field has afforded Mr.
Sherman considerable working knowledge in identifying types of corrosion and
corrosion mechanisms; a keen investigative eye; as well as an understanding
of the theoretical underpinnings of the science of corrosion. |
