Why Galvanic Corrosion Testing Matters Across Industries When two dissimilar metals are in contact and exposed to a corrosive environment, one often corrodes at the expense of the other—a phenomenon known as galvanic corrosion. Galvanic corrosion must be considered in nearly any design where metallic components are used, such as aerospace applications, automotive design, marine, [...]

The underlying chemistry of corrosion may be complex to understand, but its effects are not: Corrosion-related product and infrastructure failures cause billions of dollars of damage every year and are extremely dangerous.  All metals are susceptible to some form of corrosion, and all corrosion will affect how metallic materials perform in some way. Therefore, expert [...]

Corrosion is a natural conversion process in which a metal part gradually deteriorates into a more chemically stable oxide. Rusting is the most common and recognizable form of corrosion. […]
