Mike Yongjun Tan, professor of applied electrochemistry and corrosion technologies at Australia’s Deakin University, shares insights pertaining to his group’s award-winning technology.

As a patent-pending, closed-loop smart cathodic protection (CP) technology, the system employs a localized corrosion probe to perform in-situ monitoring of localized corrosion. It then uses corrosion monitoring data to smartly adjust and closed-loop control the CP potential/current.
