Corrosion & Environmental Degradation Testing

In the realm of metallurgy and material testing, corrosion and environmental degradation pose significant challenges to structural integrity and performance. Materials used in various sectors such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and energy are frequently exposed to harsh environments that can lead to accelerated deterioration. This service focuses on assessing how materials withstand these conditions through rigorous testing methods.

Corrosion testing is essential for ensuring the longevity of materials used in critical applications. It involves exposing samples to specific environmental conditions designed to mimic real-world scenarios. These tests help identify materials' susceptibility to corrosion, enabling manufacturers to make informed decisions about material selection and design improvements. Environmental degradation encompasses a broader spectrum of material damage caused by factors like humidity, temperature fluctuations, and chemical exposure.

Our testing services are tailored to meet the stringent requirements set forth by international standards such as ISO 12937-1:2016 for atmospheric corrosion assessment and ASTM G151-14 for salt fog testing. We employ advanced techniques like potentiostatic polarization, weight loss measurement, and immersion tests to evaluate material performance under various conditions.

The process begins with thorough specimen preparation, ensuring that the samples accurately represent the materials in use. Following this, we subject them to controlled environmental chambers or outdoor exposure sites where they are subjected to simulated operational environments. Throughout the testing period, our experienced technicians monitor changes in weight, coloration, and structural integrity.

The data collected during these tests is meticulously analyzed using statistical methods to ensure accuracy and reliability. Our reports provide comprehensive insights into material behavior under different conditions, offering valuable information for continuous improvement in product development cycles.

By leveraging our expertise in corrosion and environmental degradation testing, organizations can enhance their compliance efforts while simultaneously optimizing material choices for better performance across diverse industries.
