Corrosion tests

Compare and validate the resistance of materials and equipment to corrosive atmospheres

Why carry out corrosion tests?

Corrosion tests are used to validate or compare the resistance of materials and equipment to aggressive environments, such as exposure to salt, humidity or industrial pollutants. These tests are essential for :

Validate the resistance of equipment exposed to corrosive atmospheres.
Prevent deterioration of materials.
Check the effectiveness of coatings and surface treatments.
Comply with industry standards.

Types of corrosion tests

Our laboratories are equipped to carry out a wide range of corrosion tests:

Salt spray tests: Exposure to a controlled salt spray atmosphere.
Cyclic salt spray tests: Exposure to an atmosphere alternating salt spray and humidity with optional drying phases.
Polluted atmosphere tests (corrosive gases): Simulation of aggressive industrial conditions.
