Corrosion Damage Can Lead To Premature Failure.
Uniform Corrosion
Uniform corrosion takes place when the corrosion reactions occur uniformly throughout the corroding metal surface, causing a constant weight loss.

Hydrogen Permeation
Hydrogen absorption from corrosion or manufacture processes can diffuse in metals to cause stress build up and embrittlement.

Hydrogen Embrittlement
Hydrogen embrittlement causes metal brittle fracture due to the combined action of hydrogen and internal or applied tensile stress.

Years of Experience
Active Projects
At CT&S, our mission is to help your business address corrosion issues.
Corrosion of a metal alloy in a corroding environment results in its continuous destructive degradation until failure. It is caused by electrochemical reactions at the corroding metal surface involving mainly an anodic oxidation reaction conducing to oxide formation, mass loss, or localized attack; and a simultaneous reduction reaction conducing to hydrogen absorption which can lead to structural damage and sudden metal failure.
At CT&S we are equipped to evaluate the corrosion behavior of metal alloys relevant to your working or corroding process conditions. We test different forms of metal corrosion subject to the type of alloys and process conditions.

Addressing metal corrosion issues in a field or in a plant process environment requires a good understanding
of the metal corrosion characteristics in such corroding environment.
Protect Your Assets From Costly Corrosion Failures
All metal alloys exposed to mild or aggressive corroding environments degrade.
Under some conditions, the corrosion failure can be catastrophic.
