The proprietary IP base
TCR carries its own research IP: custom corrosion coupons supplied since 2012 and MiC image-analysis software in use since 2008.
Custom corrosion coupons are built to client specification in geometry, material of construction, and exposure protocol. For non-standard corrosion studies, TCR designs and builds its own autoclaves and reference specimens, with the autoclave-deliverable methodology cross-checked at ITER France.
