Testing of corrosion resistance in stainless steels
Unlock the Secrets of Corrosion Resistance Why Testing Matters for Your Stainless Steel Materials
As a business owner or materials scientist, you understand the importance of ensuring that your stainless steel products can withstand various environmental conditions without compromising their integrity. Corrosion resistance is a critical factor in determining the lifespan and performance of your materials, especially when exposed to harsh chemicals, saltwater, or other corrosive substances.
At Eurolab, we specialize in providing an essential laboratory service Testing of corrosion resistance in stainless steels. This comprehensive testing process helps you evaluate the corrosion behavior of your stainless steel materials under various conditions, ensuring that they meet the required standards for safety and performance.
Why Corrosion Resistance Matters
Corrosion can be a significant concern for industries such as
Aerospace where high-strength, low-alloy steels are used for aircraft components
Chemical processing where equipment is exposed to corrosive chemicals
Marine where steel structures are vulnerable to saltwater corrosion
Corrosion can lead to costly repairs, replacements, and even safety hazards. By testing the corrosion resistance of your stainless steel materials, you can
Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations
Optimize material selection for specific applications
Reduce maintenance costs and extend product lifespan
Improve product performance and reliability

How We Test for Corrosion Resistance
Our expert technicians employ a range of techniques to evaluate the corrosion behavior of your stainless steel samples. These methods include
Salt Spray Testing (ASTM B117) simulates corrosive environments using a salt spray chamber
Immersion Testing exposes samples to corrosive substances, such as acids or bases
Cyclic Corrosion Testing (ASTM G85) replicates environmental conditions found in marine and industrial settings
QA Section
