Industrial corrosion, testing and evaluation
If your answer to these questions is Yes, then we might have a Master thesis project for you. We at Production and Materials Engineering collaborate with the R&D departments in the above-mentioned companies on developing new corrosion testing methods. We are interested in real world applications, where systematic material evaluation can make a real difference here and now.

By use of a lab-built machine for accelerated corrosion, equipped with a potentiostat for accurate measurements of corrosion, your project will result in mapping out engineering diagrams that can be used in industry right away.
Examples of project focus:
- Corrosion in different environments and their protection mechanisms.
- Corrosion on different materials and their protection mechanisms.
- Corrosion on as-produced material vs plastically deformed material vs thermally relaxed material.
- Comparing crevice corrosion vs pitting corrosion vs general corrosion.
- Student idea
