Investigations on corrosion phenomena
Corrosion is a phenomenon resulting in the deterioration of construction products and material, causing substantial economic losses and often requiring repeated service interventions.
Our experts are able to use different analysis techniques to identify the reasons and mechanisms of this phenomenon. For example, by means of an X-ray energy dispersion probe fitted to a scanning electron microscope, corrosive deposits can be analysed, thus tracing the agents triggering this phenomenon.
Also corrosion tests can be carried out to determine the resistance of the different materials to certain corrosive environments:
Resistance to neutral salt spray (Uni ISO 9227): corrosion resistance tests in neutral salt spray (NSS), acetic acid salt spray (AASS) and copper acetic salt spray (CASS) according to standards ASTM B117 and ISO 9227 on metals and alloys, metallic coatings (anodic and cathode), conversion coatings, anodizing coatings and organic coatings of metallic materials.
