Corrosion Consultant


Pierre R. Roberge, PhD, P.Eng.

Pierre R. Roberge obtained his PhD in Physical Chemistry in 1982 on the subject of Chlor Alkali Diaphragm Cells. He has since then worked as a research scientist for different industries on subjects related to the performance of materials in service or to the production of energy with electrochemical power sources (fuel cells, batteries …). The last ten years of his research and consulting activities have been focused on corrosion engineering work.

Dr. Roberge is presently Professor at the Royal Military College of Canada where he teaches courses in materials and corrosion engineering and Associate Dean (Academic Outreach) of RMC Division of Continuing Studies.


Research activities

Roberge's research activities cover a wide spectrum of topics from the development of accelerated tests for the characterization of the corrosion resistance of metallic materials to the design and development of information systems.

  • Life prediction and reliability analysis
  • Failure mode characterization and corrosion modeling for materials performance
  • Analyze causes and remedial actions for preventing future failures
  • Corrosion monitoring, system design, implementation, and analysis
  • Information and knowledge based systems
  • Organize and conduct research
  • Expert witness
