Corrosion Never Sleeps

General or uniform type of corrosion failure

Corrosion, always happening, never stopping!

Localized corrosion in the form of crevice corrosion

Corrosion impacts diverse areas
oil and gas pharmaceuticals food processing pulp and paper automobile aircraft	chemicals electronics metal-working water supply railroad ships

Corrosion degrades all materials
iron alloys cobalt alloys titanium alloys tantalum elastomers resins wood	nickel alloys aluminum alloys zirconium alloys silver plastics glass coatings

CORROSION CAN BE EXAMINED, TESTED, PREDICTED, UNDERSTOOD

Typical Tools For Assessing Corrosion
immersion test rotating cylinder electrode corrosion potential electrical resistance probes corrosion modeling	polarization scan polarization resistance electrochemical impedance potential-pH diagrams electrochemical noise

As it is said: "From dust to dust and from rust to rust"
