The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) conducts ASTM G48 testing to evaluate the pitting and crevice corrosion resistance of stainless steels and alloys. This test method uses ferric chloride solutions to reveal how materials respond to aggressive environments. This standard offers a consistent way to compare alloy performance and verify material suitability for demanding applications.
