Biography
Prof. Andrej Atrens The University of Queensland (UQ), Australia
Biography: Atrens is Emeritus Professor of Materials at The University of Queensland (UQ), where he has been since 1984. He earned a DEng (a higher doctorate) in 1997 and became Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2018. An international academic reputation is evident from invitations for many keynote papers at international conferences, invitations as guest scientist/visiting professor at leading international laboratories (in China, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, France & Sweden), a ISI H-index of 62 [web of science] (75 [Google scholar]), many citations (17,810 citations [web of science]; 25,000 [Google scholar]), 23 journal papers with more than 100 citations, 10 journal papers with more than 200 citations, and an excellent publication record in top international journals with more than 280 refereed journal publications. Research areas: hydrogen embrittlement, corrosion of magnesium, stress corrosion cracking, corrosion mechanisms, atmospheric corrosion and patination of copper. In the last 5 years since 2014 Atrens has published 83 refereed journal publications. Atrens has made significant contributions to the understanding of the service performance of engineering materials. This includes: • Understanding of influence of hydrogen in steels, including advanced high-strength steels for auto construction, • Elucidated corrosion mechanisms of magnesium alloys, stainless steels and copper alloys, • Developed a model for the patination of copper, and a procedure for an artificial patination process, • Developed an improved understanding of passivity in stainless steels and binary alloys such as Fe-Cr, Ni-Cr, Co-Cr, Fe-Ti, and Fe-Si. Contributions to the understanding of magnesium corrosion include: • Characterised the corrosion reactions, types of corrosion and the corrosion morphologies for Mg alloys and related these to alloy chemistry, metallurgy and microstructure. • Help to provide an understanding of the biocorrosion of Mg. • Produced a comprehensive explanation of the strange electrochemical behaviour of the negative difference effect, which underlies the corrosion behaviour of magnesium and its alloys.
