Stress Corrosion Cracking

Prof. V.S Raja received his doctorate from the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore in 1987, then joined the faculty at the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay, where he is now the Institute Chair Professor in the Department of Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science. His research focuses broadly on the field of corrosion. He worked as a guest researcher at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, as a Visiting Professor at the University of Nevada in the United States, and as a Guest Scientist at GKSS in Germany and Tohoku University in Japan. He is currently working on numerous corrosion-related challenges in Canada, France, Australia, Belgium, and the Netherlands.He is a member of the CSIR and DRDO laboratories' Research Councils, and he sat on the NACE international research committee from 2009 to 2013. He has garnered multiple national accolades and is a NACE fellow as a result of his efforts. At UN-L he heads The Advanced Materials and Manufacturing for Extreme Environments Laboratory, where he and his team produce new materials that can survive harsh environments such as high temperature, irradiation, and corrosive gas or liquid. It also creates new advanced production procedures for these materials and elucidates key manufacturing mechanisms. Acta Materialia and the Journal of the American Ceramic Society have both published his work. He received the Richard Brook Prize for Best PhD in Ceramics in the UK (2012), the Gustav Eirich Award from the European Centre for Refractories (2012), the Tony Evans Prize for Best Ceramics Thesis (2012), and the Lee Family Scholarship from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (2008-2011). Tetsuo Shoji is Professor at the Fracture and Reliability Research Institute at Tohoku University, Japan.
