Forensic Analysis of Hardware due to Corrosion Damage Forensic analysis of in-service or failed hardware allows an understanding of what caused the damage. Often there are clues that uncover the type of stresses that led to performance loss such as electrical, mechanical, thermal or chemical stresses. Once the type of stress is understood, a mitigation method may be prescribed in the form of material substitution, coating system application, cathodic protection or even an inhibitor. When there are multiple stresses in combination it may require multiple mitigation methods but those must then be aligned with the environment.
