Investigation and Measures of Corrosion Accidents: Corrosion and Corrosion Protection Consultant Services

JFE-TEC provides commissioned consultation services for corrosion and corrosion protection including investigation, analysis and measures of corrosion accidents and breakage.

It is reported that economical loss due to corrosion reaches several hundreds billion US dollars every year, and total amount of corrosion measures spending was US$390 billion which is 0.77% of GDP in Japan.
Corrosion cost is a total of corrosion loss amount plus corrosion measures spending. It is critical to minimize this total corrosion cost because corrosion loss amount decreases by increasing corrosion measures spending and corrosion loss amount increases when corrosion measures spending insufficient.
JFE-TEC provides commissioned services including cause investigation of corrosion accidents or breakage/damage in plants, equipment, machinery, piping, steel components, etc. and corrosion investigation including troubleshooting for failure or defects of plants, equipment, machinery, piping, steel parts, etc. We also provide not only corrosion cause investigation and corrosion resistance evaluation but also consultation services as a professional corrosion problem expert including onsite field investigation and corrosion environment measurement, monitoring by ACM sensor, proposal of corrosion protection technologies and corrosion measures, etc. We are happy to assist clients in solving your corrosion related troubles.
