About Curtin Corrosion Centre
Welcome to the Curtin Corrosion Centre, located at Bentley, De Laeter Way, 5 in Australia. Our establishment is a point of interest and a university dedicated to conducting high-quality research in corrosion and materials related to various industries such as petroleum, mining, chemical processing, defence, maritime, automotive, and biomedical.
At the Curtin Corrosion Centre, we have a team that combines industry experience with scholarly expertise to provide valuable insights and solutions in the field of corrosion. We understand the broader impact that corrosion has on many industries and the crucial role of corrosion specialists in controlling and mitigating its effects.
In our research, we explore various aspects of corrosion, including dissimilar metal corrosion and the effect of heterogeneities in metals. Through experiments using steel nails in agar gel with pH and ferrous ion indicators, we demonstrate how corrosion can be accelerated or mitigated depending on the electrical connections. Our time-lapse videos capture the color changes as reactions progress, providing a visual representation of corrosion processes.
We also delve into the study of corrosion in additive manufacturing, specifically in 316L stainless steel. By utilizing a combination of fused filament fabrication and metal injection molding, we analyze the microstructures, mechanical properties, and fracture modes of the manufactured material.
Mechanically assisted corrosion is another area of focus for us, as it represents the most dangerous and costly forms of corrosion. Through our research, we aim to understand and mitigate corrosion facilitated or initiated by mechanical processes.
Localized corrosion, which can lead to fast penetration rates and leakages, is a significant concern in many industries. We explore different approaches to mitigate localized corrosion and prevent loss of containment.
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a multidisciplinary field of research that we actively pursue. Our leading MIC activities are described in detail on this page, showcasing our commitment to understanding and addressing this complex form of corrosion.
To further expand our capabilities, we have commissioned new facilities to study reinforced concrete corrosion and corrosion protection. This allows us to explore the unique challenges and develop effective solutions in these areas.
Dissolved acid gases, such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, can lead to complex corrosion behavior. We conduct extensive research on acid gas corrosion at the Curtin Corrosion Centre, aiming to gain insights into this phenomenon and develop strategies to mitigate its effects.
Our state-of-the-art research extends to corrosion inhibition, coatings, and electrochemical protection. We believe in the importance of corrosion protection and offer valuable insights into our approach to mitigating corrosion risks.
Atmospheric corrosion is another costly issue that can result in catastrophic failures. The Curtin Corrosion Centre is at the forefront of efforts to mitigate this problem, and we invite you to explore how we contribute to addressing atmospheric corrosion.
We are proud to collaborate with leading Oil and Gas operators and the Resources Industry in Western Australia. Through these partnerships, we aim to make significant advancements in corrosion research and support the growth and sustainability of these industries.
