Corrosion Problems Can Always Be Solved

Problems related to corrosion take up about 4% of the GNP of an industrialized country, mainly because of the misconception that they are inevitable. On the contrary, corrosion problems can always be solved with several specific techniques, provided that an on-site or laboratory analysis has been conducted to understand the actual phenomena involved.

• On-site or in-lab assessment of cisterns, pressurized tanks and canisters, refinery structures and machinery, chemical, petrochemical and natural gas plants
  
• On-site or in-lab analyses of painted or lined structures that have scaling and chipping problems 
  
• Assessment of resistance to corrosion and improvement of internal prostheses: hip and knee replacement parts, stents, metal plaques, etc. 
  
• Assessment of resistance to corrosion in steel, zinc-plated or painted structures, either under or above ground: underground pipes, high tension pylons, smokestacks, etc. 
  
• Selection of the materials and/or covering, the paint or cathodic  protection for specific corrosive environments
