Protecting metals from corrosion and evaluating the performance of materials in corrosive environments are topics that the standards we frequently sell address. Personally, I became aware of the frequent concern regarding performance of components and parts in challenging environments through our work supporting military procurement. We've seen how the microelectronics industry has developed "ruggedized" products to address these issues.
But over time in working with standards, I've come to realize the importance of metallurgy in a broad spectrum of products. Whether it's naturally occuring issues brought about by atmosphere that includes salt (think homes that are built near the ocean) or the relentless exposure to materials transported by tanks or pipelines, understanding the properties of the materials you use in your products can avoid future issues.
If you need help in identifying the standards you need or in keeping up with the latest editions of the standards you have, Document Center has products and services to help. We've been in the business since 1982 and have the expertise and tools to help you keep your compliance collection current.
