Corrosion under ionising radiation

In partnership with Corrodys, ATRON Metrology is exploring the mechanisms of corrosion and biocorrosion in metallic materials exposed to ionising radiation.

Description

Based in Cherbourg (France), the Corrodys laboratory is a technological research centre specialising in corrosion, biocorrosion, and biofouling. It brings together complementary experts to assess and investigate corrosion and biocorrosion cases from all angles.

Corrodys and ATRON Metrology are focused on the ageing and degradation of metallic materials under irradiation, in environments representative of the nuclear industry, with the aim of evaluating their resistance to corrosion and biocorrosion.

These unique studies help to highlight, on the one hand, the impact of oxidising radicals on corrosion, and on the other hand, the effect of irradiation on the microorganisms typically involved in Microbially Influenced Corrosion (MIC) phenomena.
