Centre for Infrastructure Management Research Opportunities
Research Opportunities available with the Centre of Infrastructure Management (CIM)
Corrosion and structural integrity facilities
A list of facilities for corrosion and structural integrity testing for various construction materials
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
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
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
Corrosion testing facilities

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.
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.
Understanding the failure mechanisms of coatings on contaminated steel substrates
The project will determine the method by which coatings on contaminated surfaces fail through the development of protocols
Metals and Metallic Coatings
Corrosion tests can be performed on metals, alloys and metallic coatings, such as hot-dip and electroplated surfaces
