TWI
Mike first joined TWI approximately 12 years ago, whilst working towards a PhD on hydrogen embrittlement. Mike now works as a Team Manager within TWI’s Materials Performance and Characterisation Section. He helps manage confidential projects for TWI’s members within the oil and gas, defence, aerospace, automotive, and nuclear sectors. He has a particular interest in the performance of non-ferrous alloys and is currently involved in projects assessing how corrosion resistant alloys perform in different environments, including gaseous hydrogen, seawater with cathodic protection, and sour solutions.
Mike is also a lecturer on TWI’s failure investigation course and has been involved in over 50 failure investigations, ranging from 1” corrosion resistant alloy tubes to catastrophic rupture of large bore pipelines. Mike uses the lessons learned during these investigations to supplement workshops and training courses for TWI’s Members and partner universities.
