• Cathodic & Anodic protection
• Gravimetric Measurements (weight loss measurements and evaluation of corrosion inhibitors).
• Protective Coatings and Linings.
• Chemical Inhibition: Calculation of corrosion rate and inhibition efficiency.
• Surface analysis using SEM-EDAX and Optical Microscopy.
• Electrochemical measurements including potentiodynamic & potentiostatic measurements, Cyclic voltametry, Impedence spectroscopy and Chronoamperometry.

3.Mechanical Testing Services

Material performance is the key factor underlying all engineered products and processes. To engineer a solution, you need to thoroughly understand the critical material properties for a specific environment. The materials engineers at CEREM have extensive knowledge and experience in assessing the safe, economic and efficient use of materials throughout industry.
Our mechanical testing lab is equipped with wide range of equipment’s such as:
 

• Universal Testing Machines with high temperature
• Testing capabilities.
• Hardness and Impact testing machines.
• Fatigue and Creep testing machines.
• Data logger (80 channel capacity) and high speed
• Data acquisition systems.
