Expertise, R&D and Consulting
Cathodic protection
A cornerstone of corrosion control, this department offers complete expertise: from the design of installations to on-site audits and through to modelling. We develop innovative monitoring sensors and operate test benches to optimise the effectiveness of impressed-current or sacrificial anode protection, while also providing certified training for your teams.
Corrosion sensors and monitoring
Continuous monitoring of corrosion and environmental parameters makes it possible to assess material durability, detect degradation risks at an early stage, and optimize preventive maintenance programs. The French Corrosion Institute develops, deploys, and commercializes custom sensor solutions, deployable across a wide range of environments: industrial, atmospheric, submerged, buried, or under irradiation.
Mechanical testing under corrosive environments
Stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement, corrosion fatigue, and environmentally assisted cracking: these phenomena affect a broad spectrum of materials including high-strength steels, aluminium alloys, titanium alloys, and nickel-based superalloys. They span sectors as diverse as automotive, aerospace, energy, and the oil and gas industry.
Industrial corrosion diagnosis
In the event of a failure, or to audit your installations, our experts deploy on site for a full diagnosis. Combining field inspections with laboratory investigations (metallography, chemical analysis), we pinpoint the root cause of the damage. We transform these analyses into operational recommendations to halt corrosion, secure your assets and optimise your maintenance plans.
