Test the corrosion resistance of materials with ASTM B117 salt spray test

Gaurav Malhotra

Salt spray testing is a type of corrosion test that is used to determine the resistance of materials to corrosion in a salt-laden environment. This test will involve exposing the material to a saltwater spray for a period of time and then observing the results. The amount of time that the material is exposed to the saltwater spray will vary depending on the material being tested and the desired level of corrosion resistance. Presto salt spray chamber is India’s widely used lab testing instrument in metal testing industries.

This high-quality salt spray testing equipment will help the manufacturers in performing accelerated corrosion tests on metal coatings surface by stimulating a salt-laden environment inside the chamber. It has been designed with the global test standards that include ASTM B117 and JIS Z 2371.

In this blog, we will discuss how the Presto quality corrosion testing chamber has been used to determine the corrosion resistance of materials. We'll also delve into the importance of salt spray testing.

Importance of salt spray testing in automobile parts designing

Salt spray testing is a critical step in the process of designing automobile parts. It is a laboratory corrosion test that evaluates the corrosion resistance of materials and coatings. The test exposes the parts to a saline environment, simulating the harsh conditions that they might be exposed to during their lifetime.

This quality test will be used to evaluate the performance of materials in a wide range of applications. This information can then be used to make decisions about which materials should be used in products that will be exposed to corrosive environments.

You can read more on the importance of salt spray testing in metal component design to know how crucial this quality test is for metal manufacturers.

The testing procedure for conducting a salt spray test is very simple. The test specimen is placed in an enclosed chamber and it is subjected to a constant flow of salt-laden fog. This flow is maintained during the entire duration of the test. This testing process is used in both the automotive and industrial sectors.

Now, let us discuss brief information about the Presto salt spray testing chamber.
