Centre for Corrosion Technology
The Centre for Corrosion Technology (CCT) was founded by its Director, Professor Robert Akid, in 1996 to provide research and business support expertise concerning the implication of materials operating within corrosive environments.
Investigation and characterisation of corrosion mechanism for the sol-gel developed Cr6+ free coatings for aircraft Al or Mg alloys
This project will add various corrosion inhibitors in the formulation to investigate their corrosion resistance and mechanism to the coated metal through electrochemical analysis
HIPIMS technology underpins commercial success
High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering is a technology which uses short, very high power pulses to apply protective coatings to a range of different surfaces
Building bridges with local authorities
Bridge Inspectors training events are being delivered by Sheffield Hallam University, one of the first in the country to teach the new code of practice for bridge inspectors
Corrosion and structural integrity facilities
A list of facilities for corrosion and structural integrity testing for various construction materials
Revolutionary new building material developed at MERI
Liquid Granite is not only capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 1100 degrees Celsius, but it also maintains its heat adversity for longer and won't explode at extreme temperatures like traditional concrete
Assessment of material suitability
If you need to understand the performance of different materials used within specific applications where corrosion is a potential, we can undertake analysis of your candidate materials
New technology in the pipeline to make big savings
Researchers are applying laser-driven technology to off-shore oil pipelines in a green project that has the potential to save thousands of pounds
Corrosion testing facilities
