Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONCorrosion of painted sheet steel of auto bodies is classified according t
3、o 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 ca
4、lled “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 described a
5、re based on Practice G7 and includeperiodic wetting of the test specimens with a salt solution.1.2 The methods of preparing test specimens and the par-ticular exposure requirements of materials are beyond thescope of this practice.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.
6、The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Other conditions can be agreedupon between the parties involved.4.2 Rack Position and Type45 open rack facing theequator, direct weathering unless other conditions are agreedupon between the buyer and seller.NOTE 1Information on location, rack construction, and position

Practice D823covers techniques for producing uniformly coated test panels.6. Preparation of Test Specimens6.1 Prior to exposure, the or
18、ganic coating shall be subjectedto damage by scribing, chipping or by a method agreed uponbetween all interested parties. Applicable methods for scribingare given in Practice D1654 and for chipping in PracticeD3170.7. Procedure7.1 Attach specimens to an exposure rack facing the equa-tor. Unless othe
19、rwise specified, 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
20、 Unless otherwise 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
21、. Make sure 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 t
22、est does not 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
23、upon, spraythe 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 numbe
24、r of days, months 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.
