Overview

Roland Oltra is affiliated with the University of Burgundy in France and conducts research primarily in the fields of Engineering and Materials Science. Their work encompasses several subfields including Metals and Alloys, Materials Chemistry, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Civil and Structural Engineering.

Their research topics focus on aspects related to corrosion and materials behavior, with specific attention to:

  • Hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion behaviors in metals
  • Corrosion Behavior and Inhibition
  • Aluminum Alloy Microstructure Properties
  • Non-Destructive Testing Techniques
  • Concrete Corrosion and Durability
  • Ultrasonics and Acoustic Wave Propagation

Roland Oltra has published papers in several scientific venues. Notably, their recent publications include:

  • Environment-Assisted Crack Initiation in Aluminum Alloys Studied by Local Probe Techniques, 2022, CORROSION
  • Combination of Galvanic Interaction and Acoustic Emission Measurements on Damaged Painted Al Alloys: Towards Instrumented Witness Coupons for Outdoor Corrosion Testing, 2022, ECS Meeting Abstracts

Their collaborative work includes frequent co-authorship with researchers such as Christine Blanc, B. Vuillemin, and Rudy Larsen.

Oltra's publications mainly address experimental and analytical approaches to corrosion phenomena, combining acoustic emission methods and galvanic interaction assessments particularly in aluminum alloys, with implications for non-destructive corrosion testing and durability analysis.
