Our major aim is to elucidate and quantify the processes that contribute to the deterioration and failure of engineering materials through the interaction of material composition, operating environment and the applied/residual stress system.

The project aims to develop an understanding of the physical and chemical features of coatings which are responsible for the causes of heterogeneities

The project will determine the method by which coatings on contaminated surfaces fail through the development of protocols

This project will add various corrosion inhibitors in the formulation to investigate their corrosion resistance and mechanism to the coated metal through electrochemical analysis

Corrosion tests can be performed on metals, alloys and metallic coatings, such as hot-dip and electroplated surfaces

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.

We are highly active in the research and analysis of materials applicable to the offshore, aerospace, automotive and electrical power industries

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

We can carry out analysis of corrosion-induced failures with the intent of identifying the cause in order to reduce the likelihood of future occurrences

Researchers from Sheffield Hallam University’s Materials and Engineering Research Institute are developing a range of customised sol-gel coatings to be used on a range of products
