Corrosion and degradation test

The corrosion and degradation test of the Metallic and Ceramic Materials Laboratory‘s studies the impact of aggressive environments on mechanical and functional properties and components.

• Cyclic corrosion tests are carried out according to ASTM, ISO, VDA, DBL, Renault, VW, ISO 9227, DIN 50021, ISO 6270…
  From -20ºC to 60ºC at different relative humidities. Combined tests of fatigue-corrosion, wear-corrosion, corrosion
  cracking, in desert, tropical environments, etc.
• Atmospheric corrosion resistance tests according to ISO 9223, ISO 9225 for the determination of the corrosivity of
  the environment Exposure in real environments. Evaluation of paint protection according to ISO 12944. Solar degradation.
• Hydrogen embrittlement, quantification of the critical hydrogen content that affects properties by means of TDA. Hydrogen permeability test at high pressure.
• Study of corrosion mechanisms using potentiometric techniques.
• Evaluation of corrosion failure mechanisms in industrial components and products in service: cutting tools for a food industry, pipes, cans of carbonated drinks, etc.
