This study focuses on a better understanding of significant pitting corrosion on coating surface damaged carbon steels, or low alloy steels, during salt spray testing for automotive applications. Anodic cyclic polarization test was used to evaluate the severity of pitting corrosion, and to estimate the corrosion rate of raw materials.
This study focuses on a better understanding of significant pitting corrosion on coating surface damaged carbon steels, or low alloy steels, during salt spray testing for automotive applications. Anodic cyclic polarization test was used to evaluate the severity of pitting corrosion, and to estimate the corrosion rate of raw materials. Corrosion potential Ecorr, pitting potential Epit, and pitting protection potential Epp were measured by conducting anodic cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP) on 3 carbon steels. The scattering of the three potentials were observed within 35 mV on a 1 cm2 exposure surface of the 3 steels. To simulate the surface damage on automobile suspension coil springs and stabilizer bars, gravel shocking and a hardness indenter were used to generate damage on ZnP pretreated and coated shot peening surfaces. The corrosion potential evolution of steel substrate, ZnP pretreated surface, and damaged coating surface were monitored in 5% NaCl solution for 72 hours. The timing of pretreatment exposure and metal substrate exposure to the NaCl solution were noticeable. A pitting model and a correlation between pitting occurrence and fatigue cracking are further discussed.

Overview of coatings for a cyclic-temperature environment. Test method, including a heat cycle between 21 to 300 deg-C simulating the dehydrator operation and exposure to salt spray. The performances of the three coatings were evaluated using this method. Factors to be considered for coating selection in the cyclic-temperature environment are discussed.c

Traditional internal lining schemes for the storage/transport of crude oil & refined fuels may no longer be appropriate. The aggressive nature of crude oil (high temp. & more sour), high purity refined products & increased use of biofuels demand better linings & more certain test results. The focus of this paper is to review the trends in test methodology from the early 1990’s to present.
New high-solids coatings are sometimes required to meet volatile organic compound (VOC) legislation. Lack of data on same needs accelerated test methods to evaluate performance. The test method must: • Be performed using commercially available equipment • Take a relatively short time period. • Correlate with real life exposure.
