   Smart Corrosion Management | Felipe Rocha

   In this episode of Materials.Business, host Monica Hernandez sits down with Felipe Rocha, Asset Integrity Specialist at Infinity Growth. They dive into how modern data engineering, machine learning, and physics-informed models are bridging the gap between technical corrosion reporting and C-suite business decisions. Felipe breaks down why traditional PDF reports and static spreadsheets fall short, introduces the concept of a "living integrity model" (the GPS navigation app for industrial assets), and details how companies can eliminate wasted engineering hours while making fully defensible, risk-based budget decisions. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Why asset integrity is ultimately a financial and capital decision, not just an engineering report. The 4 major "cost leaks" hiding in traditional integrity management. How a 3-layer integrity model combines API industry codes, physical chemistry, and physics-constrained machine learning. Moving from calendar-based maintenance to true risk-based inspection. Why AI tools will never replace the legal stamp and accountability of a Professional Engineer.
