Accelerated corrosion test methods are regularly utilized in coating industries to predict the performance of coatings in real life exposure. The performance of coatings in these accelerated tests is a key step in the product development cycle. It is essential to understand different factors that may introduce variability in the test result.
Accelerated corrosion test methods are regularly utilized in coating industries to predict the performance of coatings in real life exposure. The performance of coatings in these accelerated tests is a key step in the product development cycle. It is essential to understand different factors that may introduce variability in the test result. This paper will look at different variables that can impact reproducibility of salt fog testing. Discussion will be focused on coating application and sample preparation before salt fog exposure. As part of this discussion, we will cover different analytical tools used to understand the variability. Utilization of findings in this paper will help enhance quality control of salt fog testing, lending to more efficient product development.
International standards, both ISO and ASTM, require that the attributes exhibited during an adhesion test are recorded as part of the results. What are these attributes, how should they be recorded and what value are they to the inspector and applicator in assessing the reason for failure? This paper looks at all these questions and asks should we be going further than we do in defining the mode of failure.

Modern design, manufacturing and field-testing specifications include surface profile and adhesion testing on the assumption that they are linked to long term corrosion prevention. There are a number of careful studies, dating back decades, that find no link between measurements of adhesion and (undercutting) corrosion performance, but other studies do, and the concept remains intuitively appealing and widely assumed.
To address questions and concerns in the protective and marine coatings market, new laboratory data has been generated regarding corrosion rates and mechanisms that will help eliminate some of the assumptions regarding the role of soluble salts. These assumptions include soluble salt types such as chloride, sulfate, and nitrate along with the resulting conjugate corrosion products.
