Corrosion due to environmental degradation is a natural process. All engineered materials are susceptible to some degree.
In other words, rust never sleeps. But EWI has the strategies and resources for mitigating the natural threat of corrosion in many long-term product applications.
Corrosion mechanisms vary, often act synergistically, and can be initiated by many complex variables. By applying advanced corrosion science principles and testing how materials interact with their environments, EWI helps clients prevent premature product failure associated with corrosion. Trust our experts to solve your corrosion and materials engineering challenges.
With a wide array of corrosion testing resources and expertise in materials characterization and consultation, EWI can assist in addressing corrosion concerns at all stages of a product’s lifecycle. Some examples of our corrosion services include:
- Materials selection for corrosion control and compatibility with environment of use
- Integrity and performance threat identification associated with materials degradation
- Environmentally induced fracture mechanics testing (e.g., evaluate risk of cracking due to corrosion)
- Corrosion testing services in our laboratories (e.g., ASTM testing, electrochemical corrosion parameter testing)
- Evaluation of corrosion mitigation strategies (e.g., corrosion inhibitor evaluation, coatings testing)
- Analysis of corrosion-related product failure
- And much more! Explore technical expertise and lab resources below
