In recent years, cyclic corrosion standards in the automotive industry have encouraged manufacturers of test chambers to offer new control features. Automotive OEMs required these new features in order to simulate actual automotive corrosion and to i...

In LF-8116, "A New Era in Corrosion Testing," we discussed a short history of modern atmospheric corrosion testing and recent advances in the field. In this article we will cover a topic which generates many questions from laboratory technicians and ...

It is widely accepted that improved methods for assessing the corrosion controlling properties of organic coatings on steel are needed. Difficulties with established testing procedures (primarily ASTM B 117 salt spgy) have been well documented]-3 and...

Salt spray cabinets were first used for corrosion testing around 1914, In 1939, the neutral salt spray test was incorporated as ASTM Method B 117, Today B 117 is the Practice for Operating Salt Spray (Fog) Apparatus under the jurisdiction of Committe...

This article presents a brief description of the various approaches to determine longterm durability of coatings. Following the introduction, some data from SSPC's Performance of Alternate Coatings in the Environment (PACE) program are presented, com...

This paper describes a method of Cyclic Accelerated Corrosion known as the Mebon Prohesion Test. This test relates more closely to long term natural exposure than do conventional salt spray, humidity or sulphur dioxide tests. The Prohesion test usual...
