Laboratory of Corrosion of Materials "Pietro Pedeferri"

• subjectSkills

  PoliLaPP combines its expertise in corrosion and protection of metals in natural and industrial environments to a consolidated experience in research and training.

   

  The group offers its skills in the field of corrosion science and engineering, from the assessment of metal-environment compatibility to corrosion monitoring and electrochemical oxidation techniques. The group is also specialized in diagnostic analysis to evaluate the causes of corrosion of components - failure analysis - and in the definition of tailored corrosion tests on metallic materials in specific environments. PoliLaPP organizes ad hoc training courses on specific topics in the field of corrosion and its prevention.

   

  Main collaborations of PoliLaPP are: APCE, ENI, Tenaris, SnamReteGas, Italgas, Mapei, Yara, Casale, Prysmian, RFI, Industrie De Nora, Centro Inox, Nokia, BTicino, Procter & Gamble, Fincantieri, Salini Impregilo, Technital, Pietro Fiorentini, Maccaferri.
