ME S-STEM Scholar's Research -- Ricardo Cardoza Mr. Ricardo Cardoza, an ME S-STEM scholar, spent his 2016 summer time at The University of Virginia in Dr. Robert Kelly's laboratory. Ricardo conducted polarization scans, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and 100-hour bulk exposures to test the effects of aluminum ions on material properties of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy (AA) is commonly used in naval ships due to its low cost, high strength to weight ratio, and great resistance to uniform corrosion. Unfortunately, a localized corrosion known as intergranular corrosion (IGC) still occurs.  When the alloy begins to corrode, aluminum ions are released into the solution the metal is sitting in. Ricardo's research is aimed to determine whether those ions affect the corrosion rate.  His result has shown that the greater the aluminum concentration, the greater intergranular corrosion and initiation sights.  In addition, low pH values in the solution and large exposure area make intergranular corrosion likely to occur. ]]> Mr. Ricardo Cardoza, an ME S-STEM scholar, spent his 2016 summer time at The University of Virginia in Dr. Robert Kelly's laboratory.

His research project involves improving the efficiency of hydrogen production through electrolysis. This is attempted by using pulsed power rather than constant power to drive the reaction. There are mass flow and electrical effects that can develop boundary layers that may be responsible for a decrease in the efficiency of water electrolysis. These boundary layers take time to form so the application of intermittent power may prevent them from fully forming and thereby increase the efficiency of the process. In addition, Mr. Cherry is also part of the team running a summer program for middle school students, entitled "Science and Engineering: Experimenting with Basic Concepts". This summer program, directed by Dr. Romero-Talamas, aims to introduce and reinforce the basic concepts of physics and thermodynamics to middle school students with a college twist. Participants worked in small groups to do hands-on experiments, including an electronic project and creating a solar pinhole camera. ]]> ME S-STEM scholar, Mr. Ben Cherry, has been working in Dr. Carlos Romero-Talamas' research laboratory in the Mechanical Engineering Department in the past two years.
