Experiences in damage analysis for equipment and materials
The diagram below shows a record of TOYO's experience in damage analysis including both for in-house and clients’ equipment and materials. Because petroleum and chemical plants often handle highly corrosive process fluids, the type of steel used in many cases is stainless steel and corrosion damage risk is high at welded parts.
To address the damage, together with process and mechanical design engineers, material specialists with extensive knowledge and experiences in corrosion and welding will provide the support in studying preventive measures, clarifying the causes of damage and planning countermeasures.
