We can advise on the following:
Life cycle cost minimised by using suitable material selection and corrosion control.
Identification of Corrosion and other Degradation Mechanisms.
Evaluation of significance of each mechanism by detailed review of process and environmental parameters throughout design life.
- Predictions of degradation rates for steady processes;
(e.g. oxygen corrosion and sand erosion);
- Evaluation of susceptibility to faster failure mechanisms
(e.g. stress corrosion cracking, liquid metal embrittlement, de-alloying, hydrogen embrittlement, brittle fracture).
Appropriate precautions for avoidance.
Detailed consideration and specification of appropriate and available cost-effective materials and appropriate solutions for corrosion mitigation and control.
(e.g. Internal and external protective coatings/ corrosion and erosion resistant alloy cladding, corrosion and scale inhibition types and dosages/ cathodic protection).
Cost/ benefit analysis where options exist.
Corrosion monitoring philosophy supports material selection.
