13、onditions unless otherwise specified. Procedure Prepare a 5% salt solution for manual spray as follows: 1. Dissolve 53 g of sodium chloride per liter of distilled or deionized water. Sufficient test solution should be repared to allow samples to be completely immersed for the manual method. 2. Adjus
14、t the solution pH to 6.0 - 8.0 by the addition of hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. 3. For the manual method, replace salt solution and clean out tank when appreciable rust accumulates in the bath and deposits on the samples, or when the pH is outside of the 6.0 - 8.0 range (do not readjust the
15、 pH). 4. (Optional) In instances of extended testing or for paint-coating systems that do not resist corrosive attack at the edges, it may be necessary to mask the edges and holes of the sample parts and the holes, edges and backs of panels with an air-dry stop-off lacquer. Such masking should be de
16、noted in the Materials Engineering Specification. Allow to dry for twenty-four hours. 5. Scribe or condition the panels or parts as indicated by the applicable Materials Engineering Specification. Hold the scriber at a 45 to 60 angle to the part or panel (see Figure 4). Scribe test panels with an “X
17、“ using the straight shank lathe cutting tool bit. When testing zinc coated steels, scribe through the coating to the substrate. A carbide tip scriber may be used for samples with narrow scribe areas or curved surfaces. 6. In order to simulate dust contamination, load a camel hair brush with a small
18、 amount of dry kaolin powder and lightly brush it on the painted surfaces to obtain a uniform, thin, dry coating prior to the initial test cycle only. 7. Wipe the bottom edge of the samples with a towel to remove excess salt, which accumulates during the drain-and-dry period. Use care not to remove
19、the kaolin from the remainder of the panel. 8. Samples shall be suspended from rods on insulated hooks. The intent is to prevent galvanic corrosion resulting from contact with a bare hook. Non-Metallic slotted racks may also be used. After sample preparation run the samples per the test requirements

Visually examine samples every five (5) test cycles for blisters, rust and other evidence of deterioration of the coating system and log the results (Figure 1 is a suggested format). 2. Within 30 minutes of completion of the final test cycle (as defined by the Material

27、5 of 8 General Information This test procedure is used to evaluate the relative corrosion performance of paint coating systems applied to test panels and to car body sheet metal parts. The test can rank and evaluate the capability of paint coating systems, with and without color topcoats, to prevent
28、 corrosive attack at intact painted areas (i.e. unscribed, defect-free), mechanically-damaged or scribed locations, and dissimilar metal joints. This procedure simulates the corrosive conditions of the APG Vehicle Accelerated Corrosion Test (CETP 00.00-R-311) conducted on vehicles at the Ford Arizon
29、a Proving Grounds (APG) and produces coating failure modes that are the same as those observed on the interior and exterior areas of vehicles tested at APG. Corrosion testing of 0.81 mm thick cold-rolled steel, with only one side painted, produces metal perforations within 45 to 55 cycles, i.e., app
30、roximately 70 days. Note: During prolonged holiday periods (over 4 days), the testing should be interrupted and the specimens removed from the humidity cabinet. Chemicals, materials, parts, and equipment referenced in this document must be used and handled properly. Each party is responsible for det
31、ermining proper use and handling in its facilities.
