Corrosion testing in the laboratory consists of several stages. The whole process begins with an analysis of the chemical composition, manufacturing process and structure of a given material, after which it is exposed to various factors that can cause rusting. Thus, it is possible to identify potential dangers and select the best corrosion protection methods. Our services are used to effectively identify and assess risk and thus significantly contribute to increasing the durability and safety of many products.

When are corrosion tests performed?

The person or institution responsible for a given product or structure usually decides to implement subsequent stages of corrosion testing. These are often manufacturers of various types of machines, vehicles, building structures, as well as public and scientific institutions and research institutes. In our laboratory we perform such tests for instance when a new product is to be introduced to the market and when we assess the causes of corrosion of machine elements or structures.

The fundamental importance of corrosion testing is to identify potential dangers and prevent serious damage. Rusting, as a natural process, is an inevitable phenomenon, but thanks to the analyses carried out in our laboratory, its progress can be slowed down or stopped even at a late stage of the life of a material or product. As a result, it becomes safer, more durable and resistant to external factors.

Performance of corrosion tests is therefore both cost-effective and responsible. Without them, many products would not be as durable as they are today, so it is worth deciding to have them carried out in our laboratory, where all stages of analysis are carried out in accordance with current standards. Corrosion is a natural but complex phenomenon and therefore requires detailed procedures. Our specialists use advanced technologies and equipment to analyse corrosion processes, which enable monitoring and predicting the risk of rusting and its harmful effects on various materials.

Course of corrosion tests

The activities are divided into several phases. First, the chemical composition and structure of the material is analysed, and then, based on the results obtained, a prediction is made regarding the material's behaviour in given operating conditions. The stages of conducting corrosion tests in the laboratory also include corrosion susceptibility tests, which involve exposing material samples to various corrosive factors.

Using modern equipment and technologies, such as spectral analysis, scanning microscopy and other tests, our specialists assess, among others:

• causes of corrosion,
• degree of material corrosion,
• expected service life,
• potential risk of corrosion in the future,
• possibilities of using various anti-corrosion protection methods.

The results of our analyses may influence decisions regarding the selection of materials, production, as well as the maintenance and operation of various types of facilities. In today's world dominated by technology and innovation, where new, durable and efficient solutions are constantly being sought, corrosion testing plays an important role. Decide to have them carried out in our laboratory and be sure of reliable and credible results that you can use at various stages of the decision-making, production or investment process!
