Testing for pitting and crevice corrosion
The Critical Importance of Testing for Pitting and Crevice Corrosion Protecting Your Assets from Hidden Dangers
In the world of materials science, corrosion is a pervasive threat that can compromise the integrity of even the most robust structures. While some forms of corrosion are readily apparent, others remain hidden until its too late. Pitting and crevice corrosion, in particular, can be devastating if left unchecked. At Eurolab, we offer a comprehensive laboratory service designed to detect these insidious threats before they become catastrophic. In this article, well delve into the importance of testing for pitting and crevice corrosion, highlighting its benefits and answering frequently asked questions.
What is Pitting and Crevice Corrosion?
Pitting and crevice corrosion are two distinct forms of localized corrosion that occur in specific areas, such as pits or crevices, where corrosive substances can accumulate. Pitting corrosion involves the formation of small, rounded holes (pits) on the surface of a material, while crevice corrosion occurs when moisture becomes trapped in narrow gaps between two surfaces.
