Stress Corrosion Cracking
What Is Stress Corrosion Cracking? Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is an environmentally-driven failure mechanism that can be found in metal alloys of all types including pure metals, though pure copper is thought to be immune to SCC. Ceramics and polymers also...Corrosion Testing
Corrosion Testing To work as intended, a material must function within its service environment. Corrosion problems can occur when material selection is less than ideal. There is an intricate relationship between material chemistry, microstructure, surface condition,...Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) Microscopy
Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) microscopy is a characterization technique used with scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) for the determination of crystallographic information present in both metal and mineral samples. Much like energy dispersive X-ray...
Testing Concrete for Chloride Penetration
One of the most common causes of structural concrete deterioration is corrosion of the reinforcing steel within the concrete member. Engineers dealing with concrete exposed to chlorides are likely asked to answer these questions: How resistant is the concrete to...
