    The document describes the salt spray test method ASTM B117 for evaluating corrosion preventive oils. It involves exposing test panels coated with the oils to a salt fog solution at 35°C. Some advantages are comparing product performance and being accelerated over field tests. Disadvantages include harsh conditions, poor reproducibility, and poor correlation to field results. The document notes variability between fog chambers and that salt spray alone rarely correlates with natural environments. It also provides an example comparing products' salt spray and field performance, noting better correlation with humidity cabinet tests. Experience shows thin films have difficulty achieving consistent salt spray resistance and thicker films are needed but can cause downstream issues.

    Salt Spray Test for

    corrosion preventive oils


    Method : ASTM B 117

    Test Solution : 5+1 parts of NaCl in 95 parts of H2O

    Test Temperature : 35 oC

    Air supply : Compressed air 10 – 25 psi

    Atomization and Fog quantity :1 – 2 mL/hour/80cm2

    Cleaning of the panels : Panels to be dipped in


    clean running water (temperature: < 38oC) and
    dried immediately
    2
    Method : ASTM B 117

    Advantages:

    – Comparing product(similar product mixes) performance


    -Accelerated test – less time consuming

    Disadvantages:

    -Too harsh test condition


    -Poor reproducibility / repeatability
    -Poor correlation with field results in comparing different
    type of products

    Method : ASTM B117

    QUOTE

    3.2 Prediction of performance in natural environments


    has seldom been correlated with salt spray results when
    used as stand alone data.

    3.3 Variability has been observed when similar


    specimens are tested in different fog chambers even
    though testing conditions are nominally similar and
    within the ranges specified in this practice.

    Experience/Learnings

    - Based on our experience, its very difficult to get


    a high and consistent salt spray resistance for
    thin film corrosion preventive chemistries
    - We need a thicker/waxy film to get a good salt
    spray resistance
    - Thicker films can cause problems in the downstream processes

    - Salt spray are a good test method to evaluate


    coatings/paints
    - Poor correlation with the field performance
    - Better correlation with the field performance
    achieved with Humidity Chamber performance.
