Corrosion in civil construction
Corrosion found in reinforced concrete is one of the most frequent pathologies of buildings, especially those exposed to aggressive environments such as the onshore marine atmospheres. The corrosion of carbon steel reinforcements produces oxides and hydroxides. The volume of these corrosion products has much greater volume than the original steel Read more…

Atmospheric and marine environment in-field tests
IPT´s Laboratory for Corrosion and Protection has pioneered studies of atmospheric corrosion in Brazil. The first study began in 1974 with the project "Studies of the behavior of metallic materials in different types of atmospheres" funded by PROMOCET – Program of Science and Technology of São Paulo State. This project Read more…

Failure analysis of corrosion in metallic materials
Metallic materials in daily use are subject to failures due to the type of operation or stress to which they are subjected, or to the aggressiveness of the environment to which they are exposed. Corrosion is common in such environments, and if the necessary precautions are not taken, it may Read more…
