Corrosion Tests

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.
