Corrosion of metals and alloys — Accelerated cyclic corrosion tests with exposure to synthetic ocean water salt-deposition process — "Dry" and "wet" conditions at constant absolute humidity

Corrosion des métaux et alliages — Essais de corrosion cyclique accélérée avec exposition à l’eau de mer synthétique par procédé de dépôt salin — Conditions «sèches» et conditions «humides» à taux d’humidité absolue constant

Abstract / scope

This International Standard specifies two accelerated corrosion test procedures, Methods A and B, for the evaluation of corrosion behaviour of surface-treated metals and their alloys with and without paint on them in atmospheric environments. It also specifies the apparatus used. The two tests involve salt deposition and dry/wet conditions at a constant absolute humidity.

Method A applies to:

metals and their alloys (including corrosion-resistance alloys)

Method B applies to:

metals and their alloys

metals and their alloys with coatings [including metallic coatings (anodic or cathodic), organic

coatings, and conversion coatings]
