Prof. Karthikeyan’s research spans all aspects of environmental degradation of structural alloys, including aqueous corrosion, high temperature corrosion, and coupled environmental-mechanical degradation. His work bridges physical metallurgy and electrochemistry. While his work is primarily experimental, he loves to leverage CALPHAD-based models in his work. He also has special interest in connecting processing-microstrucure with corrosion properties, and done considerable work into environmental degradation of additively manufactured Fe and Ni-based alloys. He maintains active contact with Oil & Gas, pipeline companies and is involved in industry-related projects with them. His group has active academic collaborations across the world, including Tohoku University (Japan), The Ohio State University (USA), University of Manchester (UK).
