1、Designation: D 6675 01 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Practice forSalt-Accelerated Outdoor Cosmetic Corrosion Testing ofOrganic Coatings on Automotive Sheet Steel1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6675; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal ado
2、ption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONCorrosion of painted sheet steel of auto bodies is classified accordin
3、g to the initial location anddirection of the corrosive attack. When the corrosion starts on the visible exterior surface, mostly atnicks and scratches in the paint, it is called “cosmetic” or “outside in” corrosion. Corrosion initiatedat an interior surface or within a closed or semi-closed part is
4、 called “perforation” or “inside out”corrosion.1. Scope1.1 This practice is designed to assist procedures to befollowed when conducting outdoor exposures to evaluatecosmetic corrosion that might occur in steel panels coveredwith an organic coating that has been damaged. The outdoorexposures describe

11、nd Use3.1 Tests of the type described in this practice may be usedto evaluate the corrosion resistance of organic coatings onmetal products exposed to highly salty environments, such asareas subjected to deicing salts or coastal areas. Exposureconditions are complex and changeable. Important factors

17、ces D 1014, G7, and G50.5. Test Specimens5.1 Methods for the preparation of test panels and substratesare given in Practices D 609, D 1730 and D 2201. PracticeD 823 covers techniques for producing uniformly coated testpanels.6. Preparation of Test Specimens6.1 Prior to exposure, the organic coating
18、shall be subjectedto damage by scribing, chipping or by a method agreed uponbetween all interested parties. Applicable methods for scribingare given in Practice D 1654 and for chipping in PracticeD 3170.7. Procedure7.1 Attach specimens to an exposure rack facing the equa-tor. Unless otherwise specif
19、ied, the rack shall be oriented at anangle of 45 to the horizontal. The panels must be electricallyinsulated from each other and the exposure rack. The use ofinsulators or painting all sides of the specimens to protectagainst galvanic corrosion, are suitable methods for achievingthis.7.2 Unless othe
20、rwise specified, twice weekly, at 3 to 4 dayintervals, apply the electrolyte solution to test specimens.Unless otherwise specified, use a 5 % aqueous sodium chloridesolution prepared in accordance with Practice B117. Use ahand pump atomizer or other means to spray the electrolytesolution. Make sure
21、that each specimen is completely wetted.Since the degree of atomization and volume of solution canaffect the corrosion rate, the details of the solution applicationmust be reported. Make sure to use the same applicationconditions each time the electrolyte solution is applied.NOTE 2This test does not
22、 necessarily agree with any other acceleratedtest, or any other natural exposure conducted in severe locations.3,4,5,67.3 The application of electrolyte solution should be per-formed on the scheduled day regardless of the weather condi-tions such as rain or snow. Unless otherwise agreed upon, sprayt
23、he panels after the evaporation of the morning dew formation.Do not remove snow and ice from the specimens prior to theelectrolyte solution application.8. Periods of Exposure8.1 The duration of exposure should be specified on one ofthe following bases:8.1.1 Exposure for a specified number of days, m
24、onths oryears. The report shall indicate exact dates of exposure.8.1.2 Exposure until a specified level of corrosion or deg-radation has occurred.8.1.3 Exposure until a specified amount of corrosion ordegradation has occurred in a standard specimen exposed withthe test specimens.9.
