Gamry Struts Its Stuff at CORROSION2004

Gamry attended the 2004 annual NACE International meeting in New Orleans in late March.  This was the first time we had shown the EFM140 Electrochemical Frequency Modulation Software at an exhibit and we spent quite a bit of time covering the high points of this new corrosion rate measurement technique.


Attending CORROSION2004 for Gamry was (l-r) Pete Peterson, David Loveday, Lucy Cervera, and Bob Rodgers.  Pete, Dave, and Bob are based in Gamry's US home office.  Lucy is from SATELsa, Gamry's representative in Mexico. Lucy's husband is Dr. Andres Torres-Acosta, who you may know from the Instituto Mexicano del Transporte or remember from Dr. Alberto Sagues' group at the University of South Florida.


The Gamry exhibit at CORROSION2004 included a MultEchem Electrochemistry System with four Potentiostats, all running an electrochemical experiment on a rather large sample of mild steel. We also showed a single potentiostat system in both a desktop and a portable computer.  Installing a Gamry Potentiostat in a portable computer is a popular choice for corrosion scientists, whose samples sometimes reside far from the comfort of the laboratory.


This is the well-known and very beautiful St. Louis Cathedral on Jackson Square in New Orleans.  The statue in the foreground is Andrew Jackson, President on the US from 1829-1837 and a very successful general -- most famous for his defeat of the British at the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812. The city of New Orleans is a strange mixture of Spanish, French, and African influences that produced a city that is unique -- there's nothing like it!


For example, you don't see a Volkswagen like this every day!  We said "unique", we did not say tasteful!  We spotted this Object d'Art while strolling through the French Quarter in New Orleans, just across the street from the Cafe du Monde, home of the best beignets in New Orleans.
