Old metallurgists don't die........they just rust in peace.

Corrosion is the fate of all metals and some non-metals. As soon as a metal is 'won' from its ore, it begins to revert back to its oxidised state again.Corrosion testing is vital in establishing why, when and how everything corrodes.

  • Key Benefits
    The rate of corrosion will establish how long the part will last
  • Prevent corrosion by finding out what chemical is causing it
  • Find new corrosion resistant treatments
  • Experiment with dissimilar metals and galvanic protection methods

We have a range of corrosion tests to suit your needs.

  • Salt spray cabinets of various types Environmental chambers, hot/cols and dry/humid
  • Combined cycle programmes to simulate various exposures
  • Acid attack exposure
  • Wet corrosion and hot soak tests
  • Galvanic corrosion, cell measurements and induced potentials
  • Deliberately aggresssive tests eg ASTM A262 Practice E etc.
  • Specialist chambers for unique applications, built to order.
