With salt spray testing, the corrosion behavior of metallic or non-metallic layers can be determined in an accelerated manner. Either neutral (NSS) or acidic (AASS, containing acetic acid) corrosion-promoting atmospheres are created in a chamber with sprayed 5% sodium chloride solution. The corrosiveness of the spray medium can be enhanced even further by adding copper chloride (CASS) to the salt spray.
This test is part of the following manufacturer and requirement standards:
