Corrosion Research Laboratories
(CorRLab)
Welcome
The primary goal of the CorRLab at Clemson University is to develop new and innovative technologies to mitigate damage due to corrosion. Our laboratory provides a unique multidisciplinary research environment to address the synergy between corrosion, materials, and structural damage. CorRLab trains students on the undergraduate, master, Ph.D., and postdoctoral levels and collaborates with researchers from different institutes to extend their research. The mission of the CorRLab is to explore potential solutions to build more sustainable future infrastructure facilities.
