Corrosion testing facilities
A list of facilities and equipment for corrosion testing at Sheffield Hallam University's Materials and Engineering Research Institute
Centre for Infrastructure Management Research Opportunities
Research Opportunities available with the Centre of Infrastructure Management (CIM)
Corrosion and structural integrity
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.
MERI Student Day a Huge Success!
his year’s MERI Student Seminar Day saw a record number of 2nd year research students giving a talk, 17 in total. The talks were of a very high standard and at the end of the day two 1st prizes were awarded to Helga Razaghi and Itai Vutabwarova
Metals and Metallic Coatings
Corrosion tests can be performed on metals, alloys and metallic coatings, such as hot-dip and electroplated surfaces
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
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
Failure analysis
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
New sol-gel coatings fight corrosion and improve environmental friendliness
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
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.
