Corrosion is a degradation process by which materials react with their environment. Corrosion causes the formation of oxide scale which can reduce the mechanical, thermal, or electrical properties of materials, especially metallic materials. Ebatco’s NAT Lab can analyze the surface and cross section of oxides formed on samples along with determining their microstructure. We can identify the function and distribution of alloying elements within materials and determine the effectiveness of protective coatings. Our expertise enables us to measure coating properties such as thickness, wear resistance, hardness, etc. and analyze the interactions that occur at coating and substrate interfaces.
