Test ECK (Electrolysis Corrosion Kontrol) Heavy Duty Anti Seize Spray over aluminum and CRS dissimilar metal. Amount of ECK
material in between the aluminum & steel is not known. Test for salt resistance.

Systems tested: 1000 hours of Salt resistance testing

#1) Aluminum and Steel panels placed together with ECK between
#2) Aluminum and Steel panels placed together

04

TEST RESULTS: 1000 hours of Salt resistance testing

#1) Aluminum and Steel panels placed together with ECK between Looked good after 1000 hours salt resistance
#2) Aluminum and Steel panels placed together with out ECK Looked very poorly, lots of rust
05

CV LAB. RECOMMENDATION/S:The set of panels using ECK material appeared to help stop corrosion between Aluminum and steel
compared to control panels without ECK..

Location: Delaware, OH

Subject: Corrosion Testing,

ECK Systems

This report summarizes the salt spray corrosion testing performed on the panels you sent to the lab.
The idea behind this testing is to evaluate ECK corrosion prevention coating when assembling
components for commercial vehicles. There were four mock scale assemblies sent in for 1000 hours
corrosion testing. Their variations are described below. This testing is referenced to lab notebook
RF159-56. The following information was recorded during the testing.

Assembly Variations: All painting and assembly was done on location following customer’s current
process.

1. Original procedure with no ECK. Flat aluminum panels with small access door riveted on it.
2. Same configuration as with panel one. New procedure with ECK applied under access door and
rivets.
3. Original procedure with no ECK. Steel post and aluminum grate swing door attached with
stainless steel hinge and bolts. This assembly is painted after all components are connected.
4. Same configuration as with panel three. ECK is applied under hinge and on bolts before
assembly.

Salt Spray Corrosion Test Results: 1000 hours exposure in ASTM B117.
Assembl 1000 hours Results
y
1 15mm bad blistering around access door, bad blisters at hinge and rivets, panel edges
are minimally blistered.
2 Some corrosion at access door but no blistering, blistering around hinge but not on
rivets, no blisters on panel edges.
3 Up to 5mm blistering on steel post at hinge, backside of bolts has bad blistering.
4 No blistering on steel post at hinge, bad blistering on backside of bolts.

Summary
! 1000 hours in this corrosive environment is extensive exposure.
! It’s obvious that ECK has dramatically improved assemblies 2 and 4 abilities to resist
corrosion and blistering.
! The use of ECK in this manufacturing process will improve the longevity of units it is used
on.

Response to WR-56-REP-08: E-one Panels, Salt Spray Testing

Chris,

Here are some pictures from the ASTM B117 Salt Spray test. We did not observe any significant change to the hinge at 250 Hours.
The 1,000hrs report shows a noticeable difference between 2 and 3 versus 1 and 4. There is more blistering on panels 1 and 4 from
the galvanic reaction where the hinge is in contact with the body.

I hope the attached pictures are helpful. Order of performance was 3>2>1>4.

Regards,

Bob Pennock

 Ec C I hb ASTM B117 e g May 15, 2007
Objective:
Test ASTM B117 salt spray corrosion resistance of “Eck” corrosion inhibitor used on fasteners for aluminum joining.
Procedure:
Prepare 12 samples each per chart below. “Eck” corrosion inhibitor to be applied to the threads of the fasteners as well as the underside of the washer.
Specimen ID may be preserved with corrosion resistant coating to ensure future readability. Assemble fasteners with washer and wipe excess “Eck” corrosion
inhibitor.

Photograph all specimens prior to start of test. Record mass of each specimen prior to start of test. Perform ASTM B117 Salt Spray testing for 1000 Hr
duration. Specimen shall be oriented such that the exposed threads at the bottom of the holes are exposed to salt spray. Photograph specimens at 500hrs. At
conclusion of 1000 hr test, photograph and record mass of each specimen. Additionally, note any pertinent observations with respect to level of corrosion
protection provided by the “Eck” corrosion inhibitor.

Conclusion:
Provide photographs and mass gain / loss along with any data / certifications required by ASTM B117.
