Corrosion Risk Assessment & Design Review

I help engineering teams identify corrosion risks early in vehicle development and recommend practical improvements before they become costly field issues.

  • Review of material selections and specifications

  • Assessment of coatings, sealers, joints, and interfaces

  • Evaluation of water retention, drainage, and corrosion-sensitive areas

  • Recommendations to improve long-term corrosion durability

Corrosion Validation Strategy

I help OEMs and suppliers evaluate whether their corrosion validation plans are appropriate for the target vehicle, market, and durability requirements.

  • Review of corrosion test plans and specifications

  • Assessment of lab, component, assembly, and vehicle-level test methods

  • Evaluation of validation gaps and test severity

  • Recommendations to improve lab-to-field correlation and launch confidence

I assess corrosion risks related to vehicle export, transportation, storage, and operation in global markets.

  • Review of target market exposure conditions

  • Assessment of marine transport and extended storage risks

  • Evaluation of coatings, sealers, cavity protection, and packaging

  • Recommendations to improve protection before vehicles reach end markets

Export Corrosion Readiness

I support teams in identifying the root cause of corrosion issues observed during testing, production, or field use.

  • Root cause investigation

  • Review of field reports, test data, and failed parts

  • Assessment of corrosion mechanisms and contributing factors

  • Corrective action recommendations

Corrosion Failure Investigation

I support teardown and benchmarking activities to evaluate corrosion protection strategies and identify improvement opportunities.

  • Underbody coating and sealing assessment

  • Fastener, joint, flange, and hem protection review

  • Competitive vehicle corrosion protection comparison

  • Benchmarking insights for future vehicle programs

Vehicle Teardown & Benchmarking
Manufacturing Process Support

I help manufacturing and engineering teams improve production processes that affect corrosion performance.

  • Review of coating, sealer, and cavity wax application processes

  • Evaluation of corrosion-critical production practices

  • Support for multi-site manufacturing alignment

  • Short-term consulting assignments

  • Remote or on-site technical reviews

  • Ongoing engineering advisory support

  • Technical training and workshops
