Corrosion testing facilities
Test facilities are avaliable within the Centre for Corrosion Technology (CCT) for monitoring and quantifying the corrosion degradation of materials and coatings. These include metals and metallic coatings and paints.
The Centre has the equipment and experise to carry out both accelerated environmental and electrochemical tests, as appropriate. In addition to established electrochemical techniques, the Centre has a suite of instruments for monitoring localised corrosion activity. The aforementioned tests can also be combined with microscopy, which can be a useful tool for assessing corrosion degradation.
With such an extensive range of techniques available, advice is available to help clients select one that is appropriate for any given application.
