Salt Spray Test | Salt Spray Test Chamber

Salt Spray Test Chamber | Salt Fog Test | ASTM B117 Salt Spray ChamberSalt Spray Test Chamber is applicable to the salt spray corrosive test for the protection layer of components, parts, electronic and electrical parts and metal materials and industrial products. Salt spray test chamber is to assess the corrsion resistance of materials and coatings. This type of test is important for various industries to ensure the durability and reliability of products, especially those exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as marine environmentals, automotives settings, or industrial applications.

What is salt spray corrosion?

Corrosion is the destruction or deterioration of materials or their properties caused by the environment. Most corrosion occurs in the atmospheric environment, which contains corrosive components and factors such as oxygen, humidity, temperature changes, and pollutants. Salt spray corrosion is a common and most destructive atmospheric corrosion. The salt spray mentioned here refers to the chloride atmosphere, and its main corrosive component is the chloride salt in the ocean – sodium chloride, which mainly comes from the ocean and inland saline-alkali areas. The corrosion of the surface of metal materials by salt spray is caused by the chloride ions contained in it penetrating the oxide layer and protective layer on the metal surface and electrochemically reacting with the internal metal. At the same time, chloride ions contain a certain amount of hydration energy and are easily squeezed out by the pores and cracks adsorbed on the metal surface and replace the oxygen in the oxide layer, turning insoluble oxides into soluble chlorides and turning the passive surface into an active surface, thus it causing extremely bad adverse reactions to the product.

How do you do a salt spray test?

1. First power on the salt spray test chamber (plug in)
2. Press the red power switch panel from left to right, respectively: the low water level A light is on, the low salt water B light is on, and the low water level C light is on.
3. Pour distilled water directly into the test chamber, wait until the water level A indicator light off, and stop adding water. […more…]

How Long does a Salt Spray Test Take?

The Salt Spray Test Chamber is an environmental test equipment that evaluates the corrosion resistance of products or metal materials by artificially simulating salt spray environmental conditions. The chloride concentration in the salt spray environment can be several or tens of times the salt spray content of the general natural environment, which greatly increases the corrosion rate. The salt spray testing of the product can greatly shorten the time to obtain the result. For example, if a product is tested in a natural exposure environment, it may take 1 year for its corrosion, while a test in salt spray test chamber may take as long as 24 hours to obtain similar results.

How to use a salt spray test chamber to determine the corrosion resistance of LED lamps?

Salt spray test is a kind of environmental reliability test, mainly used to test the corrosion resistance of metal materials of lamps. In order to verify whether the metal parts on the product will corrode when exposed to the atmosphere or other environments, the product can be placed in the use environment for a long enough time, such as a product life cycle. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In practice, it is rarely used, so a convenient method is needed to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the product.
