Corrosion is among the leading causes of metal failures.
There are many different modes of corrosion that can occur in different applications; our failure analysts are familiar with them all. Our goal is to help you understand the mode of failure and find appropriate responses. We can provide:
- A thorough analysis that fits your scope and budget.
- Guidance on analysis, mitigation, inspection, and corrosion prevention practices.
- Clear, informative reports with all of the relevant testing data, pictures, and conclusions.
- Rapid turnaround in emergencies; when time is critical, we provide corrosion analysis quickly.
By preventing or mitigating the effects of corrosion, your safety and operating efficiency can be dramatically improved.
An example of stress corrosion cracking.The most common corrosion-related failure modes include:
- General Corrosion
- Galvanic Corrosion
- Stress Corrosion
- Pitting
- Erosion And Wear
- Hydrogen Embrittlement
- Microbiologically Induced Corrosion (MIC)
- Surface Reactions (Oxidation, Carburization, and Sulfidation)
- Weld Corrosion
- Intergranular Corrosion
- Fatigue
Each of these failure modes exhibit distinct features and characteristics that allow our experienced metallurgists to determine the mechanism and appropriate steps to mitigate future failures.
