Surfactec has considerable experience in looking at corrosion problems. We have a variety of test procedures available that we can utilisize in our investigations.
Conventional Testing Services
Accelerated corrosion tests that can be used to assess the corrosion resistance of metallic materials.
Electrochemical Testing
Designs of ELECTROCHEMICAL tests are ideal for the evaluation of metal samples in many aqueous corrosive environments. Because the information generated is electrochemical it provides quantitative data (corrosion rate), which is beyond the scope of many STANDARD types of corrosion monitoring, which can only provide qualitative information, however these tests provide a useful first step in any trouble shooting analysis.
Electrochemical Testing
Scanning Electron Micoscopy (SEM) & Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX)
A useful technique to aid identification of corrosion products.
X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)
The energy-dispersive X-Ray fluorescence spectrometer is able to conduct simultaneous thickness measurements and quantitative element analysis in one step. Thickness measurements of coatings including their composition are easily determined these coatings could be composed of single, binary or tertiary systems.
