Determination of stress corrosion resistance of copper alloys

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of a material can occur in certain environments specific for the material. Cracks can be induced either by applied stresses, for example by mounting of a component, or by residual stresses from manu…

Determination of dezincification resistance of copper alloys with zinc

A brass component intended for use in contact with water, e.g. a component of a water piping system, must be made of a dezincification resistant alloy for retained strength. Dezincification causes embrittlement of the brass materi…

Corrosion in infrastructure

Corrosion is a major challenge for infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels, ports and other steel and concrete structures. It affects both safety and service life, and leads to significant costs for maintenance, repair and replace…

Corrosion protection

Corrosion or rust can be combated in many ways. The method of corrosion protection that is most appropriate in the individual case depends on factors such as the environment, application areas, service life requirements and more.

Corrosion construction and civil engineering

Most buildings and structures contain metals, either as the main material or in structural elements. Metals have an important function as either loading-bearing or cosmetic components. Inappropriate materials or design and inadequ…

Reinforcement corrosion

Corrosion of metal structures in concrete depends on the composition and character of the concrete. Of importance in this context is the porosity, that the concrete is free of cracks and that the metal is covered with an adeq…

Cathodic protection

RISE works with inspections, investigations, calculations, theoretical and practical applications of cathodic protection on a variety of objects such as boats, marine structures, gas pipelines, water pipelines, other buried and/or…
