In an illuminating session at the AMPP 2024 Honoree Night, Federico Bertasi, Metallurgy and Electrochemistry Coordinator at Brembo S.p.A., shared insights into his groundbreaking research that has the industry buzzing. Awarded the Best Paper Award of 2023, Bertasi’s study, titled “Electrochemical Noise vs. Salt Spray Test: Is There Room for a Faster Corrosion Resistance Evaluation?” confirms the potential for revolutionizing corrosion testing methodologies.
Revolutionizing Industry Standards
Bertasi’s research not only asks a pivotal question but also provides an affirmative answer that could change the game for corrosion resistance evaluation.
“The development of new techniques will allow you to save time,” Bertasi states.
Although still in its nascent stages, this innovative approach has not yet hit the market but shows promising signs of implementation. “It’s something totally new… it’s the beginning, not the end,” Bertasi remarks, indicating the potential for widespread adoption in the industry, especially in critical applications like braking systems where safety cannot be compromised.
Brembo: At the Forefront of Innovation
Representing Brembo, a global leader in braking systems, Bertasi’s work highlights the company’s commitment to advancing safety and performance through research. The significance of corrosion resistance in brake components underscores the vital nature of such innovations in maintaining vehicle safety.
Bertasi’s award-winning paper is available online, offering the public and industry professionals alike a closer look at this pioneering research. As Brembo continues to lead in safety and innovation, the insights from this study are set to contribute significantly to the field of metallurgy and electrochemistry.
