Corrosion Tests from the Automotive Industry

The automotive industry places great demands on its anticorrosion coatings system and has therefore invested a good deal of effort in developing accelerated tests to help predict the performance of paints in harsh conditions. It should be noted that 

This section is not intended as an overview of automotive industry tests. Some tests that have good correlation to actual field service for cars and trucks, such as the Ford APGE, Nissan CCT-IV, and GM 9540P [4], are not described here. The three tests described here are those believed to be adaptable to heavy maintenance coatings VDA 621-415, the Volvo Indoor Corrosion Test (VICT), and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2334.
