Salt spray test

Product introduction： Corrosion is the damage or deterioration caused by the action of the environment on a material or its properties. Most corrosion occurs in the atmospheric environment, which contains corrosive components and factors such as oxygen, humidity, temperature changes, and pollutants. Salt spray corrosion is a common and most destructive atmospheric corrosion. The corrosion of metal materials by salt spray is caused by the electrochemical reaction between the chloride ions that penetrate the oxide layer and protective layer of the metal surface and the internal metal. At the same time, chloride ions contain a certain amount of hydration energy, which is easily adsorbed on the pores and cracks on the metal surface to push out and replace oxygen in the oxide layer, transforming insoluble oxides into soluble chlorides, and turning passive surfaces into active surfaces.Salt spray testing is an environmental test that primarily uses artificial simulated salt spray environmental conditions created by salt spray testing equipment to assess the corrosion resistance of products or metal materials. It is divided into two categories, one is natural environment exposure testing, and the other is artificial accelerated simulated salt spray environment testing. Artificial simulated salt spray environment test is the use of a test equipment with a certain volume space - a salt spray test chamber. Within its volume space, artificial methods are used to create a salt spray environment to assess the quality of the product's salt spray corrosion resistance performance. Compared with natural environments, the salt concentration of chloride in its salt spray environment can be several times or dozens of times that of general natural environments, greatly improving the corrosion rate. Conducting salt spray tests on products also greatly shortens the time for obtaining results. If a product sample is tested in a natural exposure environment, it may take one year for corrosion to occur, while under artificially simulated salt spray environment conditions, similar results can be obtained within 24 hours.classificationThe artificial simulated salt spray test includes neutral salt spray test, acetate spray test, copper salt accelerated acetate spray test, and alternating salt spray test.Neutral salt spray testNeutral salt spray testing emerged as the earliest and currently the most widely used accelerated corrosion testing method. Generally, it uses 5% sodium chloride saline solution, and the solution PH value is adjusted in the neutral range (6.5~7.2) as the solution for spray. The test temperature is set at 35 ℃, and the required settling rate of salt spray is between 1-3ml/80cm2. h, and the settling amount is generally between 1-2ml/80cm2. h.Acetate mist testThe acetate spray test was developed based on the neutral salt spray test. It involves adding some glacial acetic acid to a 5% sodium chloride solution, reducing the pH value of the solution to around 3, making the solution acidic. The resulting salt mist also changes from neutral to acidic. Its corrosion rate is about three times faster than the NSS test.Copper salt accelerated acetate spray testThe copper salt accelerated acetate spray test is a newly developed rapid salt spray corrosion test abroad. The test temperature is 50 ℃, and a small amount of copper salt copper chloride is added to the salt solution to strongly induce corrosion. Its corrosion rate is approximately 8 times that of the NSS test.Alternating salt spray testAlternating salt spray is a comprehensive salt spray test, which is actually a neutral salt spray test plus a constant damp heat test. It is mainly used for cavity type complete machine products. Through the infiltration of humid environment, salt spray corrosion not only occurs on the surface of the product, but also inside the product. It involves alternating the product under two environmental conditions: salt spray and humid heat, and finally assessing the electrical and mechanical properties of the entire product for any changes.standardThe salt spray test standard specifies the conditions for salt spray testing, such as temperature, humidity, concentration of sodium chloride solution, and pH value. In addition, technical requirements are also proposed for the performance of the salt spray test chamber. The standard for salt spray testing for the same product should be selected based on the characteristics of the salt spray test, the corrosion rate of the metal, and the sensitivity to salt spray. Below are several salt spray test standards, such as GB/T2423.17-1993 'Basic Environmental Testing Procedures for Electrical and Electronic Products - Test Ka: Salt Spray Test Method', GB/T2423.18-2000 'Environmental Testing for Electrical and Electronic Products - Part 2: Test Kb: Salt Spray, Alternating (Sodium Chloride Solution)', and GB5938-86 'Corrosion Resistance Test Method for Metal Coatings and Chemical Treatment Layers of Light Industrial Products', GB/T1771-91 'Paints and Varnishes - Determination of Resistance to Neutral Salt Spray'.Summary of Salt Spray Testing StandardsISO 7253-1996 (Coatings)BS 3900-F12-1997 (Coatings)BS 7479:1991IEC 60068-2-11:1981GB/T 10125-1997 (Coatings)GB 2423.17-2008DIN 50021-1988Standard for acid salt spray testingASTM B368-09ISO 9227-2006DIN 50021-1988BS 7479:1991Copper ion accelerated salt spray test standardASTM B368-09ISO 9227-2006DIN 50021-1988BS 7479:1991Standard for cyclic salt spray testingASTM D6899-2003ASTM G85-02e1 Annex A5ISO 11997-1:2005ISO 11997-2:2000SAE J2334:2002WSK-M2G299GM4298PGM4476PGM9540PThe purpose of salt spray test is to assess the salt spray corrosion resistance quality of products or metal materials, and the judgment of salt spray test results is the judgment of product quality.
