Corrosion Testing Methods

Corrosion testing methods evaluate how materials like metals deteriorate when exposed to environment factors such as moisture, chemicals, or air. Techniques include immersion tests, where samples are submerged in corrosive solutions to observe degradation; electrochemical tests, which measure the electrical signals produced during corrosion to assess rate; and surface analysis methods like microscopy to examine damage at a microscopic level. These tests help predict the material’s durability, ensure safety, and guide the selection of protective measures, ensuring components last longer and perform reliably in their intended environments.
