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
