THE CORROSION and PROTECTION CENTRE at U.M.I.S.T.: 4: Research and testing facilities

Abstract

Introduction Although investigation of a corrosion problem using only one or two techniques can give useful information, the most complete picture of the processes involved, and thus the best approach for a satisfactory solution of the problem, often only results from the use and interpretation of a combination of techniques. In this respect, the Corrosion Centre is fortunate in having a wide range of long‐established and modern facilities at its disposal, enabling reasonable investigations to be carried out on many different types of corrosion problems. These techniques are used primarily for research and teaching purposes, but many of them can be made available to industrial users. Table 1 gives an indication of some of the techniques to which the Centre has access and briefly mentions some of their possible applications in corrosion studies.
