Corrosion risk and remaining service life of metals
Do you need an assessment of corrosion risk, remaining service life of galvanization, or corrosion protection of metals? At the Danish Technological Institute, we offer corrosion testing and consultancy so you get the documentation and knowledge you need – both to prevent corrosion damage and when the damage has already occurred.
Corrosion of metals is a natural process governed by the environment in contact with the metal. It is a problem that appears across industries – from construction and manufacturing to water and process plants – and it can have serious consequences: loss of mechanical strength, leaks or downtime, and the resulting safety-related and financial impacts.
Our services within metal analysis and testing
Get help in case of corrosion attacks
At the Danish Technological Institute, we offer testing and consultancy related to metal corrosion. Among other things, we can help with:
- Measurement and assessment of corrosion category
- Consultancy on material selection
- Quality control of products exposed to corrosive environments
- Root cause analysis of components that have failed due to corrosion
- Electrochemical screening of materials
- Tailor-made and standardised corrosion tests
By means of advanced laboratory equipment and tests, we can characterise the extent and products of corrosion, from which corrosion mechanisms and causes can be derived.
In addition, we can assess resistance to various forms of corrosion, such as pitting and stress corrosion cracking. A complete presentation of our accredited standard tests and tailor-made corrosion tests can be found in our product catalogue below.

These investigations can, among other things, help you and your company ensure that you make optimal choices of materials and measures to secure the corrosion resistance of your components, so unexpected corrosion attacks and service life reduction are avoided.
Corrosion consultancy and documentation
We offer consultancy on material selection for corrosive environments and on the choice of suitable surface treatment, so you achieve the desired service life and meet relevant specification requirements. The consultancy may include:
- Assessment of corrosion category based on available literature and data
- Proposals for suitable or improved corrosion protection, material selection, and maintenance strategy
All investigations are concluded with a report summarising results, conclusions and – if agreed – recommendations for further or corrective action.
