Corrosion testing

Testing for corrosion shows how to keep metal, stone, or other materials from deteriorating. Corrosion examples include the rusting of steel or iron used in automobiles, water pipes, and many kinds of structural elements.

Corrosion testing services are widely available through Infinia Lab. Soon after the environmental corrosion test is finished, our corrosion lab testing engineers give thorough findings. Not only does Infinia Lab assist in finding solutions when items don’t satisfy conventional corrosion criteria, but our tried-and-true process also helps to prevent delays in product launches.

Corrosion Laboratory Tests Summaries

What is the procedure for conducting corrosion tests?

One must take the surroundings of the materials life cycle into account while choosing the proper corrosion testing procedure. The most frequent correlations between corrosive exposure and environments include salt fog, immersion, and rapid weathering.

A few corrosion test methods include MIL-STD 883 Salt Atmosphere Testing, ASTM B-117 Salt Spray Testing, and RTCA DO-160 Humidity Testing. Equipment is typically exposed to high relative humidity ranges, high temperatures, and salinity atmospheres. Following the test, the device is checked for any physical, mechanical, functional, or electrical issues.

What Other Traits are Frequently Associated with Rust Testing?

Laboratory testing of corrosive materials is referred to as taking place in a controlled corrosive environment.

Temperature, humidity, an acidic environment, etc. are all examples of corrosive circumstances that mimic natural environmental conditions.

Exposure to salt spray (fog) – Equipment for salt spray exposure includes a fog chamber, a salt solution reservoir, a supply of compressed air with the appropriate conditioning, and other essential control mechanisms.

Why is Corrosion Laboratory Testing Necessary?

Commercial, industrial, military, and aerospace products are all susceptible to environmental corrosion, which can result in permanent damage.

Corrosion’s primary negative impacts include:

• Metal corroding.
• Moving parts become stuck or clogged as a result of salt accumulation.
• Insulation mistake.
• Contact damage and exposed wiring.
• Changes in the materials, conductors, insulators, chemicals, hygroscopic components, and thermal properties of the equipment (insulators).
