Our mission at ELK Engineering is to provide the highest quality services, on and off-shore, on projects across the range of size and technical requirement. We work globally via direct and subcontract arrangements, and of course in line with all industry standards.
ELK Engineering's corrosion engineering experience includes buried and underground pipelines, above ground and underground storage tanks, roadways, bridges, mass transit, ships, marine structures, and aircraft. Its field services include pre-design testing of soils, design of corrosion prevention and control (CPC) schemes such as cathodic protection, supervision of the installation of the CPC system during construction, and lifetime inspection of structures.
Corrosion fatigue is fatigue in a corrosive environment. It is the mechanical degradation of a material under the joint action of corrosion and cyclic loading. Nearly all engineering structures experience some form of alternating stress and are exposed to harmful environments during their service life. The environment plays a significant role in the fatigue of high strength structural materials like steels, aluminium alloys and titanium alloys. Materials with high specific strength are being developed to meet the requirements of advancing technology. However,their usefulness depends to a large extent on the extent to which they resist corrosion fatigue.
