Corrdesa has developed Corrosion Djinn™ for the U.S. Navy as an easy to use web application that
allows any engineer, technician, designer or manager to quickly predict both self corrosion and
galvanic corrosion with nothing but a mobile phone. Winner of the 2017 Materials Performance
Innovation of the Year Award, Corrosion Djinn is available for commercial use.

Corrosion Djinn™ been available to the designers, then the risk would have been identified immediately
and the problem could have been avoided.
Verified and Validated as required by the Navy standard MIL-STD-3022, Corrosion Djinn™ is currently
being used by NAVAIR and several commercial companies in different industries. Not only does this tool
provide an accurate prediction of corrosion risk, it also provides a way of evaluating alternative
materials, coatings and finishes to solve galvanic corrosion problems.
While galvanic potential tables crudely compare generic materials, Corrosion Djinn™ is based on a
continuously expanding database of modern alloys, heat treatments, coatings and finishes. All of the
data taken is measured using a standardized method, so that it accurately represents the materials
actually used in a product.
It takes just a few minutes to generate a comparison table showing that a titanium bushing reduces
corrosion by two orders of magnitude compared with stainless steel, and that anodizing contributes
very little towards galvanic corrosion resistance.
As the use of this approach grows, the electrochemical data on which it rests will need to grow with it.
As new materials and coatings are developed, new electrochemical data must be measured by a
qualified electrochemical laboratory. At Corrdesa, new materials and coatings data are actively being
added to the curated Corrosion Djinn™ database to better serve the user by gathering all decision
making data into one convenient, accurate, and easy to use web based application tool.
