Center for Advanced Materials Performance (CAMP)

Providing corrosion and materials performance solutions

CAMP draws from the experience of faculty to provide corrosion and materials performance solutions to industry and government organizations. The center is home to a multimillion-dollar suite of equipment to provide research, testing and analysis in many ways. Our capabilities are outlined below.

Materials Performance

Materials Performance Testing is performed to understand corrosion and materials degradation resistance of a variety of materials. Our wide range of testing equipment allows CAMP researchers to accelerate corrosion processes while testing a material's mechanical properties and its performance in high-temperature environments.

• Accelerated Testing
• Mechanical Testing
• High-Temperature Testing

Materials Characterization

Materials Characterization labs offer analytical instrumentation for liquid, powder, surface and bulk materials analysis and characterization. These resources are available to UA faculty members and students, outside researchers and industry.

• Microscopy
• Spectroscopy
• Electrochemistry

Materials Development

CAMP researchers strive to prevent corrosion before it begins, rather than merely manage it. For this reason, we are always working to develop new alloys, coatings, composites and other materials that offer superior corrosion resistance as well as outstanding mechanical properties.

• Coatings
• Alloys
• Composites

Modeling and Simulation

CAMP utilizes a number of different modeling and simulation software programs to develop, validate and apply mathematical models to predict, prevent and manage corrosion.

• Mathematical Models
• Atomistic Simulations

Microbially Influenced Corrosion (MIC)

Researchers at UA are characterizing the influences of various microbiological processes on the corrosion of various alloys. We apply a unique combination of innovative electrochemical and microbiological techniques to determine mechanisms and early indicators of microbially influenced corrosion (MIC).

• Characterization of Microbiological Activities
• Measurement of Chemical Indicators

Equipment

From autoclaves and furnaces to high-resolution microscopes and electrochemical systems, CAMP has access to an extensive range of state-of-the-art tools for materials characterization, mechanical testing, corrosion analysis, and more.
