CC
Technologies Laboratories and CC Technologies Canada provides
one of the largest groups of scientists in North America specializing
in materials degradation (metals, polymers, and coatings).
Areas of expertise include corrosion, polymer/coating degradation,
environmentally assisted cracking, high temperature oxidation,
creep, and fatigue. The laboratories group consists of eleven
Ph.D. scientists and many M.S. and B.S. level researchers
(Metallurgical, Materials Science, Polymer Science, Chemical,
Ceramic, Electrical, Mechanical, Nuclear, and Petroleum Engineering
and Geology).
Research and testing
laboratories are located in Dublin, Ohio U.S.A. and Calgary,
Alberta Canada. The combined Dublin, Ohio and Calgary, Alberta
facilities provide 38,000 ft2 of offices and testing
laboratories. The laboratories' facilities include state-of-the-art
electrochemical test instrumentation, high temperature autoclaves,
soils laboratory, servo-hydraulic and mechanical cyclic load
machines, asbestos testing laboratory, metallography laboratory,
inhibitor test equipment, coating and polymer laboratory,
high temperature-pressure steam loops, multi-phase flow loops,
scanning and transmission electron microscopes, and atomic
force microscope.
The laboratories'
staff performs most NACE/ASTM standard corrosion related
test methods and specializes in one-of-a-kind test systems
specially designed to solve a client's problem. Dr. John
A. Beavers is Executive Vice President of CC Technologies
Laboratories. Jake Abes is Senior Vice-President-Canada
Operations.
