ASTM G198 Standard test method for determining the relative corrosion performance of driven fasteners in contact with treated wood was accepted by consensus and published in 2011. The method gives two different exposure conditions for determining fastener corrosion performance in treated wood. The first method places the wood and embedded fasteners in a chamber at 95% RH 32°C for 120 days. The second method involves a cyclic fog with 48 hours of fog followed by 72 h of “dry” for 120 days. The corrosion rate of embedded metals is an extremely sensitive function of the wood moisture content. While the wood moisture content is well defined and fixed in the constant RH test the moisture content will fluctuate and there will be moisture gradients in the cyclic fog test. As a result the fasteners in the cyclic fog test experience non-uniform and constantly changing conditions which may be more or less challenging than the constant conditions test. This paper presents the results from a combined hygrothermal/corrosion model to explore how the moisture content and temperature at the fastener interface differs between these two methods and shows how these differences in moisture content affect corrosion.
