 Corrosion Analysis

CORROSION Analysis Lab Services

Pieces of airplane wings from jet fighters, based on aircraft carriers, were brought to EMSL to compare the degree of corrosion following the application of various solvents used to desalt the airplanes. A small piece of the metal from each wing was embedded in epoxy and polished to a smooth finish. A detailed analysis with SEM and EDX was performed, and the level of corrosion was assessed in each sample. The results were used to pick the most effective desalting solvent.
