Material, Corrosion and Ageing Testing

Material, Corrosion and Ageing Testing

BOSMAL provides comprehensive testing of materials, coatings and finished products to support durability assessment, quality verification and failure investigation.

The scope includes:

  • material identification,
  • mechanical and physicochemical properties,
  • microscopy and metallography,
  • corrosion and ageing tests,
  • resistance to light and environmental exposure.

The laboratory also performs failure analysis to identify the mechanisms and root causes of defects in components operating under demanding conditions.

Technical data

Corrosion testing in artificial atmospheres: salt spray, immersion, condensation, SO₂ and climatic cycles; standards include ISO 9227, ASTM B117, ASTM G85, VDA 233-102 and ISO 11997-1/-2.

Testing in Cl₂, SO₂, NO₂ and H₂S atmospheres, with concentrations depending on the method up to 2700 ppb.

Material testing includes chemical composition, polymer and material identification, microscopy, metallography, mechanical and physicochemical properties and technical cleanliness.

Ageing tests cover temperature, humidity, ozone, UV, radiation and weather exposure.

Samples, coatings, components and complete products can be tested, including failure analysis.
