Bauer & Associates has been a<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>n independent testing laboratory<\/span><\/span><\/span> since\u00a0February\u00a01999. We have\u00a0solved\u00a0corrosion, material, and process\u00a0problems for small, medium, and large companies in many fields \u2013 plumbing, marine, chemical, medical, automotive, appliances, electrical, and more. We are focused on electrochemical methods to evaluate corrosion and the performance of coatings because these methods are\u00a0the most\u00a0quantitative, reproducible, and predictive.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Bauer & Associates offers\u00a0both consulting\u00a0and testing\u00a0services.\u00a0Our team and partners know iron,\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>alloy steel, <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>stainless steel,\u00a0aluminum, <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>nickel, <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>and copper metallurgy, both cast and wrought. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Our associates know metal finishing, electroplating, and painting. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>We have experience with polymers, ceramics, and lubricants. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>We know the processing and w<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>e r<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>ecognize <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>when typically benign materials interact in atypical ways.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Bauer & Associates maintains research quality primary instruments, and in general, we follow ASTM and NACE procedures. We routinely test according to ASTM G-59, G-61, G-102, and G-106 methods. However, it is often necessary to test \u201creal world\u201d samples and simulate \u201creal world\u201d conditions to get useful and predictive answers. We have a selection of custom-made cells, fixtures, and accessories to facilitate these \u201creal world\u201d tests. Also, our methodologies are designed to answer client questions \u2013 here are a few – <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What will the general corrosion rate be in 5, 10, or more years?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Will this material or fabrication be significantly effected by localized corrosion?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What is the galvanic corrosion rate between materials?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Will a new material perform as good or better than a traditional material?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n How will a seal or gasket material effect crevice corrosion?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What will be the corrosion rate, not immersed, under r<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>egional average<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> temperature and humidity conditions?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n How long will it take for moisture to penetrate a paint, immersed or in air?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What contaminant or process change triggered unexpected corrosion?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n We do more for our clients. We do more than run standardized tests and report textbook explanations. We solve problems and provide the information that our clients need to make better choices concerning materials and processing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.14.7″ background_color=”#EDF000″ min_height=”244px” custom_margin=”-49px||-49px||true|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.29.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.29.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ text_font_size=”13px” text_line_height=”0.8em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” text_font=”Arial|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n R.
