Your Instructor

Gerhard Schiroky joined Swagelok in 2000 and is responsible for helping customers find solutions to meet their materials requirements and identifying opportunities for providing value-added solutions. He has investigated the role of alloy constituents on corrosion of welded high purity 316L stainless steels. Mr. Schiroky has an in-depth knowledge of materials-related industry standards and standard specifications. He routinely provides customers with a better understanding of the NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 international standard for the selection of materials for sour gas applications. He has developed roadmaps for improved and new alloys, from which future fluid system components have been constructed. Mr. Schiroky received his doctorate in materials science and engineering from the University of Utah. An author of numerous technical publications on diverse topics, including 316L stainless steel, corrosion, the effects of alloy composition, fluid dynamics and materials science, he has been named on over 20 patents.
