Corrosion testing facilities

Test facilities are available within MERI for monitoring and quantifying the corrosion degradation of materials and coatings. These include metals and metallic coatings and paints.

We have the equipment and expertise to carry out both accelerated environmental and electrochemical tests, as appropriate. In addition to established electrochemical techniques, we have 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.
