Corrosion testing is an invaluable step in material selection to establish the suitability of materials for their intended use. Corrosion testing determines the resistance of materials to corrosion under certain environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, and salt water.

Our corrosion testing services can aid you in:

Comparing and selecting appropriate materials
Evaluating protective treatments
Estimating the life of products
Determining if a material will meet its intended application
Identifying corrodents and environmental factors responsible for corrosion attacks
Establishing the root cause of a product failure

Environmental Corrosion Testing Services

Laboratory Testing (LTI) also provides accelerated environmental exposure testing used to simulate corrosive service environments affecting metals, coatings, and assemblies.

I just wanted to take a moment here to thank you and LTI team for making it a great year for us. I have been recently getting great feedback on the data that I compiled for our project. And needless to say – the only reason I was able to accomplish this was for your timely testing of all the 100s of coupons I had this year. It all so beautifully played out. Really appreciate your on-time turn-around of data, even though I sometimes make it hard for y’all, haha! And also your very prompt responses to my every question. It has been great working with you all this past year and looking forward to the new year. Thank you once again! Heads-up – we have a ton of samples that will be coming your way in the new year!

I cannot thank you and your team enough for giving our needs your top attention. Thanks to the preliminary reports we received from you this morning, we were able to get the approval we needed in time.

Just wanted to recognize you and the lab for getting these plate specimens done on time under short notice. Thanks so much!

I and my entire high-maintenance crew would like to thank you and your whole crew for getting us the results on our last-minute expedite today … each and every one of you is a rock star in our book!
