G. S. Frankel

G. S. Frankel studies the corrosion of metals, especially stainless steels, aluminum alloys, and nickel-based alloys, focusing on how localized pitting starts, grows, and can be reversed (repassivation). This work has applications in areas like nuclear waste storage, aerospace materials, food packaging cans, and structural steel durability, often using electrochemical testing methods to predict when and where corrosion damage will occur.

Publication output was higher and more variable in 2017-2022 (peaking around 2020) but has declined and stabilized at a lower, steadier rate from 2023 onward.
