If you need to understand the performance of different materials used within specific applications where corrosion is a potential, we can undertake analysis of your candidate materials. Evaluation may include for example, potential for galvanic corrosion, pitting, crevice corrosion or corrosion fatigue.

This evaluation can then provide you with the knowledge you require to make important decisions.

For example, if you are looking for ways to make cost savings, you need to know what effect the use of cheaper components would have on your overall product performance. We can compare assess whether the new material will perform as well as the current material, or whether the cost savings of the new material is a false economy.

Assessment of material suitability can

• create potential savings from more appropriate use of materials
• help develop a better quality product
