Research to understand high temperature oxidation and aqueous corrosion and erosion mechanisms, and degradation due to wear relevant to structures and components in defence equipment, using microstructural analyses of corroded and worn surfaces. Research to develop environmental tests in closely controlled standardised facilities which mimic service conditions and provide accelerated tests for life prediction purposes and susceptibility of designs to corrosion damage. Also includes determination of the environments which are likely to cause serious corrosion in ships, submarines, aircraft, AFV and bridging structures.
