VMi has carried out extensive degradation mechanism investigation on offshore steel grades, e.g. corrosion, fatigue, fracture mechanics and environmental assisted cracking. Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) preferential corrosion and MIC corrosion tests have also been performed as part of the material characterization.

We have experience in lab and field testing of coatings, based on standards (such as Norsok, ISO 12944) and customer specifications.
