Applied Technical Services offers corrosion fatigue testing services that evaluate the fatigue performance of materials in corrosive environments.
What is Corrosion Fatigue?
Corrosion fatigue is a form of mechanical fatigue caused by corrosive environments and cyclic stress that commonly results in cracks on the surface of a component. The effects of corrosion fatigue can be mitigated or prevented by doing the following.
- Redistributing Stress
- Minimize Vibration and Pressure Fluctuation
- Avoiding Internal Stress
- Using High-Performance and Corrosion-Resistant Alloys
- Avoiding Sudden Changes in Temperature
- Delay the Initiation of Corrosion Fatigue Cracks by Using Coatings and Inhibitors
Why is Corrosion Fatigue Testing Important?
Corrosion fatigue testing helps to predict the lifespan of materials subjected to cyclic mechanical stress and corrosive environments. It also allows manufacturers to evaluate how materials perform under specific conditions, allowing them to make well-informed decisions when deciding which materials are ideal for specific applications or environments. Failure to account for corrosion fatigue may lead to premature failure, unsafe conditions, and expensive repairs.
