Corrosion Resistance Test

Corrosion-resistance test This can be done with the help of a salt spray test. The test piece is suspended in a salt spray chamber (Figure A13.6) for. seven days in 100% relative humidity (IS 101 and IS 11864). After the test, the surface should have no signs of deterioration or corrosion.

Corrosion resistance tests were carried out in accordance with the ASTM D1654 requirements using the following aggressive media 30% sulfuric acid, 20% hydrochloric acid, or 30% potassium hydroxide. Coating samples were kept in this media for 250 hours at 40°C, and were then subjected to tensile load tests. The results of the tests are shown in Table 5.4. 

At lesser rubber levels, heavy duty solventless coatings models based on dlethylenetrlamlne or fatty polyamide cures, showed elastomer-modification (10 phr rubber level) to advantage in Gardner impact, mandrel bend and corrosion-resistance testing (41). Impact testing (direct and reverse) gave 110 and 60 in-lbs, respectively for the rubber-modified fatty polyamide cured epoxy coating (14 days at R.T.), whereas a control formulation tested 10 in-lbs in each mode. 

The dissolution of material into an aqueous solution and so on, has a merit as well as a demerit to the enviroimient. Consider coated materials for an example. One of the objectives of a surface treatment such as plating is to improve corrosion resistance. In this case, it is preferable that the materials do not dissolve in water. This improvement of corrosion resistance enables the long-term use of materials, and will contribute to the reduction of resources and energy required for materials production. In Japan, JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) H8502 (1999) regulates the methods of corrosion resistance tests for metallic coatings so as to evaluate the corrosion of a material. This standard includes the ISO 4540 (1980), ISO 4541 (1978) and others. 

For the biocompatibility and bioadhesion tests similar restrictions as in the corrosion resistance tests must be observed. A comparison of the behaviour of the different materials is possible only if the testing conditions are identical. Results obtained in animal experiments with rats and rabbits must be treated with reservations because both animals show intense bone growth and rapid healing after the implantation.

Corrosion resistance tests were performed with ground samples in a Huey Corrosion Tester for seven days. The above values are averages of duplicate runs. Solution strengths were calculated on a weight basis and strengths were maintained by replacing with new solutions each day. 

The immersed tests are usually produced in big crucibles, filled with at least one corrosive agent. The dimension of the tested rods (usually rectangular bars) is 25 mm x 25 mm x 100 mm or 10 mm x 10 mm x 150 mm (Fig. 1.33). The bars may rotate or be dipped and pulled out or may be tested without rotation. The corrosion resistance tests for silicon carbide side lining materials are discussed in detail in Chap. 2. The corrosion resistance tests for A1 melt are discussed in Chap. 3. The tests for sodium swelling of carbon materials are discussed in Chap. 2, devoted to the lining materials for electrolysis, rather than in the chapter devoted to corrosion resistance.

In response to the above-mentioned severe corrosive environments, the development and application of new CRMs and CRCs, corrosion resistance testing and evaluation methods, and methods for the analysis of corrosive environments have been advanced, as shown in Fig. 19.4 and described below.
