Corrosion Testing

The costs of corrosion

Rust is more than a nuisance. NACE International estimates that corrosion costs the U.S. economy more than $300,000,000,000 a year. Corrosion affects every type of industry and its consequences can devastate the environment and human lives, as well as property.
