Nucor Webinar – Designing with Corrosion in Mind

Register below for our upcoming webinar to learn the characteristics of the basic common forms of corrosion and discuss:

  • The cost of corrosion and how to assess and think about corrosion for specific environments
  • The basics of the corrosion cell and the electrochemical operation of the cell
  • Estimating atmospheric corrosion using international standards
  • Recommendations for mitigation of soil corrosion from various organizations
  • Understanding the updated status of UL standards for safety in mounting devices, clamps, and ground lugs for solar applications

FEATURED SPEAKER

Mark Schlichting

Mark has worked as a Metallurgical Engineer in the steel industry for more than 30 years. After graduation from the University of Wisconsin, he started work at Inland Steel. There he developed thermodynamic models to improve Basic Oxygen Furnace yield and productivity. Later Mark was assigned to implement the first RH-OB vacuum degasser in North America. He automated the vacuum degassing and decarburization processes utilizing advanced software models. Mark received his first two patents during this period and became an AIST Kelly Award winner for his work in this area.

Since that time, Mark joined Nucor to become part of the team that commercialized the Castrip® process (near net-shape production method to produce sheet metal in strip form). During his time at Nucor, Mark has received 24 additional patents associated with the Castrip process.

Mark believes in giving back to the community in which he lives. He has been a mentor to the local high school robotics team for the last 12 years teaching young people how to solve problems using robotics and engineering techniques. The teams he has mentored have consistently qualified for the state championship and two teams have qualified to compete in the world championships.

Mark has recently served on the UL committee that saw changes to the standards in Solar PV Installations for mounting systems (UL 2703), in particular the Corrosion Standards for Safety. This committee accomplished original research and made recommendations that were adopted to the UL standard.
