Prevent Metal Products From Corrosive Attack

In order to test the potential rust damages of the product, the ability to resist corrosive agents must be tested. Corrosion tests are conducted to test the resistance of a material or a coating to the corrosion process that is activated naturally with the reaction i.e. electrochemical or chemical, to the aggression of oxidising agents like atmospheric oxygen, gas, moisture etc. This process causes deterioration of the material which leads to oxidation and the loss of its characteristics.
A corrosion test chamber also called salt spray chamber help manufacturer to know how corrosion influence the product which materials are suitable in the context of use. There are various salt spray test that a corrosion test chamber performs such as dry corrosion test, continuous salt spray test and alternate salt spray. The one to be selected depends on the application area and on the type and dimension of the product to be tested.
- NaCl solution to create the salty fog. It has approx. 5% of salt content. An atomiser is kept at the middle of the chamber to generate fog and uniform distribution.
- The pH level of NaCl solution is kept at 6.5 to 7 and the spray rate is standardised as 1.0 to 2.0/80cm2/hour.
- To maintain the conditions, glass wool insulation is used to protect the chamber and reduce heat loss.
- Multiples of 24 hours are used to set the test period.
- The more stringent test is conducted for critical application.
