Corrosion

Providing confidence that new structures and designs will withstand their environment

We provide customers with a comprehensive understanding of lifetime performance of materials, components and systems, even for plant and devices operating in harsh, corrosive environments. Our support saves significant cost by ensuring the safety of existing assets and appropriate materials selection for new designs.

The difficulty of detecting local failures due to corrosion and cracking, together with the occasionally catastrophic nature of the failure process, continues to challenge efforts towards improved structural safety. The trend in oil and gas, nuclear, and power generation is to operate under increasingly aggressive conditions for mechanical stress, chemical environment and increased temperature, all of which create uncertainty in life prediction and material selection.

We provide advanced testing facilities and expert advice, as well as guidance publications and protocols. To find out more, please contact us through the button below, or call the National Corrosion Service hotline on 020 8943 6142.
