Corrosion is defined as corrosive attack dominated by uniform thinning. There are several types of corrosion such as localized corrosion, metallurgical influenced corrosion, mechanically assisted degradation, environmentally induced corrosion/or cracking.
Lucid is capable of conducting the tests as per ASTM, IS, BIS, JIS, etc. Regularly we undertake tests on galvanized parts, coated parts on metals, alloys and polymer.
In addition stress corrosion cracking when exposed environmental conditions can be evaluated.
