Amtec consultants provide corrosion specialists and experts, together with coatings specialists and experts with a wide range of experience focused on marine corrosion and marine coatings, together with industrial corrosion and industrial coatings problems. We have been operating in areas requiring expertise in rust and paint since 1984.
Amtec consultants expert engineers have been involved as expert witnesses in many corrosion & coatings related claims. We are experienced in dealing with legal cases & disputes involving arbitration & the courts.
Corrosion problems and coatings problems associated with failures and breakdown due to paint flaking, disbondment and accelerated rusting can be tackled by our paint experts and corrosion experts on a world-wide basis. All our paint specialists and corrosion specialists are usually available on a 24/7 basis. Corrosion consultants and coatings consultants can usually travel on very short notice. Claims resulting from all types of premature failure (coatings failures or corrosion failures) can be followed through the legal system as far as arbitration & court appearance via our expert witness service.
Premature corrosion failures involving Stainless Steels, Galvanised steel, Low Alloy steels, Copper Alloys (Cupro Nickels, Brasses, Bronzes etc.) and Aluminium Alloys in marine and industrial environments are routine business areas. Coatings problems associated with structural & architectural steelwork in the building and construction industries are also major work areas. Failures due to the interaction of impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems, anodes or stray AC currents are a focus area. The "Reference Library" Link above will take you to our Guides which include details of Copper & copper Alloy Corrosion & Stainless Steel corrosion.
