Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 filiform corrosiona special type of corrosion thatoccurs under coat
10、ings on metal substrates that is characterizedby a definite threadlike structure and directional growth.3.1.1.1 DiscussionFiliform corrosion usually occurs be-tween 20 and 35C (70 and 95F), with a correspondingrelative humidity range of 60 to 95 %; above 95 % humidity,blistering rather than filiform
11、 corrosion may occur.4. Summary of Method4.1 Coated metal specimens are scribed and placed in acorrosive atmosphere to initiate corrosion. The specimens arethen exposed to controlled temperature and humidity condi-tions known to be conducive to filiform corrosion.4.2 In Procedure A, panels are subje
12、cted to a preliminaryexposure in the salt spray cabinet to initiate corrosion, rinsed,and placed in a humidity cabinet. In Procedure B, based on ISO4623, panels are either exposed to salt spray or dipped in a saltsolution but not rinsed before placing in the humidity cabinetoperated at a higher temp
13、erature than in Procedure A. InProcedure C, specimens are exposured as in Procedure Aexcept the humidity cabinet is operated at a higher temperature.1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paint andRelated Coatings, Materials, and Applications and is the direct responsibility

16、est Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.4.3 The procedures contained in this guide differ signifi-cantly in method of initiation, and or temperature, or both, andhumidity of exposure and therefore may not yield comparableresults.5. Significance and Use5.1 Some organic coatings applied to meta
17、l substrates ex-hibit filiform corrosion when there is a break in the coating filmand the relative humidity is in the 70 to 95 % range.5.2 This guide can be used to determine the susceptibility oforganic coated metal substrates to the formation of filiformcorrosion.6. Apparatus6.1 Salt-Spray Chamber
18、 as described in Practice B117, forsalt-spray (fog) testing.NOTE 1The preferred initiator of corrosion at the scribe is the salt-fogatmosphere described in Practice B117. Exposure of the specimens for 2to4hinaclosed cabinet to the atmosphere above a 1 % acetic acidsolution is an acceptable alternati
19、ve.6.2 Humidity CabinetAny cabinet with suitable tempera-ture and humidity controls with air circulation may be used.The size and detailed construction of the apparatus are op-tional, provided the conditions meet the requirements of thismethod.7. Test Specimen7.1 The composition, surface preparation
20、, and number oftest specimens shall be agreed upon between the producer andthe user. Steel is the preferred substrate, but other metals suchas aluminum, copper magnesium, and stainless steel may beused. Zinc and zinc-coated steel are not recommended becausefiliform corrosion generally does not occur
21、 on zinc.NOTE 2Applicable test panel description and surface preparationmethods are given in Practice D 609 and Practices D 1730.7.2 Preparation of Test SpecimensThe method of appli-cation, film thickness, curing, and conditioning shall be agreedupon between the producer and user.NOTE 3Test Methods
22、D 823 gives application methods that can beused to produce films of uniform film thickness.NOTE 4Test Methods D 1005, D 1186, and D 1400 give proceduresthat can be used for measurement of dry film thickness.7.3 Scribe the test specimen in accordance with Test MethodD 1654 or as agreed upon between t
23、he producer and user.7.4 The back and edges of the panel should be protectedwith an anti-corrosion coating or tape, unless edge failure isbeing evaluated.8. Use of Control or Reference Materials8.1 When several coatings are being compared, select acoating as a control. Apply the control coating to t
24、he samesubstrate as the test coatings. For best results there should betwo controls, one known to perform well and one known toperform poorly.9. Procedure A9.1 Expose the test specimens to the salt-fog atmosphere inaccordance with Practice B117for at least 4 h and not morethan 24 h, or as agreed upo
25、n between the producer and user.9.2 Remove from the salt-fog cabinet and thoroughly rinsewith distilled or demineralized water. Do not permit specimensto dry before placing in the humidity cabinet.9.3 Place the specimens in the humidity cabinet so they areno closer together than 40 mm (1.5 in.) and
26、not in contact withany metal. Operate the cabinet at 25 6 2C (77 6 3F) and 856 2 % relative humidity unless otherwise agreed upon betweenthe producer and user.NOTE 5The recommended means of maintaining the specified rela-tive humidity is to utilize trays of saturated potassium chromate solution(650
27、g/L). Practice E 104 describes other methods for maintaining relativehumidity, but they may affect the degree and rate of filiform corrosion.9.4 Inspect the specimens at intervals of approximately 168h for development of threadlike filaments from the scribe.Exercise care to maintain wetness of speci
28、mens during inspec-tion, since drying stops the original pattern of filiform corro-sion. New filiform may develop on continued exposure but atdifferent points.9.4.1 Filiform corrosion will be noted as threadlike fila-ments (see Note 6), initiating at the scribe. A standard methodof rating failure du
29、e to filiform is not available. The uniformityof filament growth in direction, width, height and frequencyprecludes a precise rating system. Photographs of filiformfailure are preferred for recording test results. Otherwise, abrief description of the filament growth and their frequency canbe made. I
30、SO 462810 provides a method for the measurementof filiform filaments. Filiform corrosion may continue todevelop after specimens are removed from the humiditycabinet.NOTE 6The nature of grinding and grain direction on panels caninfluence the direction of filiform growth.9.5 The normal test period is
31、6 weeks (1008 h). Otherperiods may be used at the option of the producer and user.10. Procedure B (ISO 4623)10.1 Two alternative initiations of corrosion are available,based on initiation by dipping in sodium chloride solution (seeNote 7) or exposure to salt fog. The dipping technique isgenerally pr
32、eferable for air drying and low-durability materi-als. For high-durability systems such as automotive finishesapplied to phosphated steel, the dipping technique may notproduce filiform corrosion and for these systems, it is prefer-able to adopt the salt-fog technique. In such cases, thenecessary per
33、iod of exposure to salt fog depends on thedurability of the material under test but should rarely need toexceed 24 h.NOTE 7Sodium chloride 0.1 % (w/v) solution (for dipping technique)is prepared by dissolving1gofreagent grade sodium chloride (NaCl) in1 L of distilled or demineralized water. Place th
34、is solution in a vesselsuitable for complete immersion of the test panel.10.2 Dipping Technique:10.2.1 Immerse the scribed specimen for 30 to 60 s in thesodium chloride solution (see Note 7).10.2.2 Take the specimen out of the solution and removeany drops of liquid adhering to it, taking care not to
35、 remove thesolution from the scribed marks.10.2.3 Place the specimen in a humidity cabinet maintainedat 40 6 2C (104 6 3.5F) and 80 6 5 % relative humidity.D280303210.2.4 Repeat the immersion procedure every 3 or 4 daysuntil the end of the test cycle (21 days) or as agreed uponbetween the producer a
36、nd the user.10.3 Salt-Fog Technique:10.3.1 Expose the scribed test specimen to the salt-fogatmosphere in accordance with Practice B117for at least 4 hor not more than 24 h or as agreed upon between the producerand the user.10.3.2 Remove the test specimen from the salt-fog cabinetand remove any drops
37、 of liquid adhering to it, taking care notto remove the solution from the scribed marks.10.3.3 Place the specimen in a humidity cabinet maintainedat 40 6 2C (104 6 3.5F) and 80 6 5 % relative humidity forthe specified period agreed upon between the producer and theuser.10.4 Follow the procedures in
38、9.4 and 9.4.1.11. Procedure C11.1 Expose the test specimens to the salt-fog atmospherein accordance with Practice B117for at least 4 h and not morethan 24 h, or as agreed upon between the producer and user.11.2 Remove from the salt-fog cabinet and thoroughly rinsewith distilled or demineralized wate

(40 mm) and not in contactwith any metal. Operate the cabinet at 40 6 2 C (104 6 3 F)and 80 6 5 % relative humidity.11.4 Follow the proc
