The Laboratory of Materials and Coatings (LMR) of LNEG is a specialized center in the fields of corrosion, degradation and anticorrosive protection of materials.
Within the natural and artificial aging of materials and coatings, the following tests can be carried out:
- Natural exposure*
- Corrosivity of atmospheres – Classification, determination and estimation *
- Determination of resistance to water and other liquids*
- Determination of resistance to artificial seawater*
- Determination of resistance to cathodic delamination *
- Determination of resistance to exposure in a chamber with Xenon arc*
- Determination of resistance to humid atmospheres containing different polluting gases (SO2 and / or NO2) *
- Determination of resistance to humidity and temperature *
- Determination of resistance to cyclic corrosion conditions *
- Neutral salt spray test (NSS)
- Acetic acid salt spray test (AASS)*
- Copper-acetic acid salt spray test (CASS)*
- UV resistance and condensation test*
- Resistance to humidity and drying cycles *
- Thermal shock test *
* Test not included in the scope of accreditation.
