A corrosion testing lab can provide you with many answers related to any problems caused by corrosion. On the other hand, you need to know whether the lab is the right one!
Check if the corrosion testing lab has experience in different types of salt spray specifications. This is important especially if you are in the manufacturing industry and you need corrosion testing services. If you want straight answers to all your questions related to salt spray tests, plating tests or corrosion testing, MSi Testing and Engineering is the right choice.
Ask yourself if your lab is capable of corrosion testing. Keeping in touch with a lab which can provide corrosion failure analysis
and metal corrosion testing services can help you solve corrosion problems wherever they pop up. The lab must be able to provide these services within a variety of metal types. Here at MSi we pride ourselves on our ability to solve many types of corrosion problems.
Corrosion failure analysis can be identified and properly evaluated by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) technology. Asking whether the laboratory has an SEM department is a wise move. If there is no SEM department, you might not be with the right lab at all! The lab must also be capable of performing energy
dispersive analysis on any corrosion residue to find out the reasons behind the corrosion. On staff at MSi, we have a full time Microscopist available to perform evaluations on your corrosion analysis.
Knowing that the lab you are consulting with has been accredited can give you peace of mind. Trust your corrosion tests only with a lab which is accredited by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). Remember that you can’t go wrong with a lab whose ASTM B117 salt spray and other accelerated corrosion tests are A2LA accredited. Please see our home page for a list of accreditations. You can download a copy of MSi Testing and Engineering’s A2LA certificate.
