WHAT WE DO

materials-performance

Material performances

We expertly conduct laboratory and field exposures to predict, prevent and manage the damage due to corrosion and to develop new and improved corrosion mitigation methods.

advanced-material-development

Advanced material development

We design, fabricate, evaluate for advanced materials, coatings and surface treatments for greater corrosion resistance. This includes metals, ceramics, polymers and composites.

computational-modeling

Computational modeling

We develop and apply analytical models with experimental validation to predict, prevent, and manage corrosion, while expanding the science of corrosion processes.

corrosion-mitigation

Corrosion mitigation and risk management

We develop and apply corrosion risk management tools for performance assessment and life prediction to increase safety and reliability and reduce costs of corrosion. We also evaluate alternative corrosion mitigation strategies.

analytical-tools

Analytical tools and spectroscopies

We determine chemical, structural and mechanical properties to support materials performance and development. We also measure properties of bulk materials, composites, thin films and surface treatments over dimensional range from macro-scale to nano-scale.

tech-development-and-deployment

Technical development and deployment

We accelerate the transition of evolving corrosion mitigation from the laboratory to commercialization and use. Projects range from proof-of-concept, product/process scale-up to full production.
