Corrosion Testing for Proactive Failure Mitigation

Corrosion testing is an important tool for mitigating corrosion-related failures, avoiding costly down-time and improving overall product quality. Common utilized testing options include salt spray testing, long-term outdoor atmospheric exposure studies, galvanic immersion testing, and the more advanced method of understanding material/electrolyte interactions using a potentiostat. This talk will cover each technique, referencing applicable international standards. Pros and cons of each method will also be discussed.
