8、: All test values indicated herein are based on material conditioned in a controlled atmosphere of 23 +/- 2 C and 50 +/- 5% relative humidity for not less than 24 h prior to testing and tested under the same conditions unless otherwise specified. In order to simulate dust contamination, load a camel

Sufficient test solution should be prepared to allow samples to be completely immersed. Adjust the solution
15、pH to 6.0 - 8.0 by the addition of hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. 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 pH). After sample preparation run the sa

20、aboratory Test Request by the requesting Engineering Activity. If the percentage red rust is required, the test samples shall be rated in accordance with the rating scale in ASTM D 610. Note: To facilitate inspection, the kaolin coating may be removed by gently wiping the sample surface with a soft
21、towel under running tap water. General Information This test procedure is used to evaluate the relative corrosion performance of finishes applied to vehicle components. The test can rank and evaluate the capability of coating systems, with and without color topcoats, to prevent corrosion. In additio
22、n this test can be used to evaluate the effect of component finishes on dissimilar metals if the proper material/materials are used for the samples. 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 determining proper use and handling in its facilities.
