Have you ever received a corroded component in your work area and immediately blamed the previous process or person for this issue?
It is not always clear where corrosion occurs especially where there are complex and often international supply chains. Stopping corrosion at one point may not stop it further down the line. Therefore, it is essential to look at the whole process from start to finish.
There are a whole host of situations where corrosion can occur whether this is during long-term storage, transportation, exposure to high humidity, poor handling or not adequately protecting clean products. It is possible for clean metal components to start to showing signs of corrosion after only a few minutes, this may not be obvious initially but could become so further through the process route and maybe several stages later.
Corrosion is a major factor in the rejection of components both at your site and at your customers and the cost of scrappage, re-work or returns can have a significant impact on your business. Everyone wants happy customers and they can only enhance your reputation in your industry.
Lake Engineering Solutions offer a full corrosion survey throughout your entire supply chain as necessary to help you pinpoint the causes of corrosion and where they occur during the process route.
In addition to this, we will provide a comprehensive report and propose solutions to these issues. We endeavour to provide the most environmentally friendly option and try to minimise the use of solvents, mineral oils and plastics wherever possible. Lake Engineering Solutions has access to a comprehensive range of Eco-friendly water and/or bio-based corrosion protection products for all situations. We also have the products to remove rust from components to allow them to be re-used although we would work together with you to solve the issue of corrosion occurring in the first place.
