Measuring corrosion resistance

of coated metallic parts

Salt Spray and Cyclic Corrosion Testing

Salt spray and cyclic corrosion test is a standardized method used to check corrosion resistance
of metals/alloys and inorganic and organic coatings. It is a tool for evaluating the uniformity of
thickness and degree of porosity of metallic and nonmetallic protective coatings. A number of
samples can be tested at once depending upon their size.
This method is considered most useful for measuring relative corrosion resistance of closely related
materials (comparative test). It is widely used for process qualification and quality acceptance. The
test methos provides a controlled corrosive environment representing accelerated marine type
atmospheric condition.
TV Rheinland provides the testing service and performs the test as per DIN, ASTM, MIL and other
relevant standards.
