2、last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers test procedures for performing accel-erated tests to evaluate relative corrosion resistance of vario
3、uscoatings applied to mechanical fasteners. Corrosion mecha-nisms such as general and crevice corrosion may be evaluatedwith this method. Test duration may be selected to achieve anydesired level of corrosion exposure and provides a frame ofreference to determine relative coating resistance to corro
4、sion.Fasteners tightened to a desired tension and subjected to thistest procedure may be evaluated to simulate a variety of serviceconditions. Without large amounts of accumulated field results,it is difficult to relate test duration or the number of test cyclesto actual service life for a given app
5、lication.1.2 This standard is not intended to cover tests of drivenfasteners such as nails, staples, screws and lag bolts.1.3 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regardedas standard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all
6、 of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Water fog or visible water droplets on partsbeing tested shall be continuous after equilibrium is reached.Dry-off may be sequenced manually or automatically.5.3 Racks suitable for supporting bolt or screw assembliesshall be agreed upon
17、between supplier and purchaser. Testresults shall always state materials used for racks duringtesting. Nylon or other suitable nonmetallic washers shall beinstalled to prevent bolt or screw heads or test coupons fromcontact with test racks. See Fig. 1 and 7.8.6. Salt Mist Application and Dry-off6.1
18、Salt solution shall conform to requirements of Table 4.Solutions shall be sprayed by nozzles to provide a mist suchthat test fasteners and coupons are thoroughly wet and drippingwhen examined visually. Solution collection rates shall con-form to Practice B117. Salt accumulations shall have beenrinse

Temperature and humidity conditionsare defi
20、ned in Table 4.7. Test Procedure7.1 Fasteners to be tested with salt spray, shall be sampledin accordance with Practice F1470, Sample Level B.7.2 Each fastener to be tested shall be installed through itscorresponding rack using nonmetallic washers as to maintain aminimum of 5 mm spacing between unde

Holes in test racks shall be offset to avoiddripping from one test fastener onto another. Fastener loadshall be achieved through finger tig

If higher loads or proof load tightening isrequired then the load level and method of tightening shall beby agreement between supplier and purchaser.7.3 Coupons to be tested shall be permanently identified bynumbers stamped onto the surface.7.4 Coupons to be
23、 used shall be cleaned with a methanol oracetone solution and weighed prior to use. A coupons weightin 6 0.5-mg shall be recorded for comparison with its weightafter testing in accordance with Table 2.7.5 Coupons as shown in Fig. 1(a) shall be installed bydrilling a hole to accept a nonmetallic hex

Aminimum of 5 mm shall be provided for spacing betweencoupons and test rack surfaces. Fixtures shall be modified asnecessary to maintain isolation from rack material

Each coupon shall be cleaned inaccordance
26、with the procedures described in Practice G1.7.8 For corrosion products that are tightly adhered to thefastener specimen, cleaning by mechanically abrading thesurface before chemical cleaning will help remove the adherentcorrosion products. Vigorous mechanical cleaning may resultin the removal of so
27、me coating or base metal; therefore, careshould be exercised when using mechanical cleaning tech-niques. Mechanical cleaning should be used only when othermethods have failed to provide adequate removal of corrosionproducts on the coupons. After a final phase, coupon mass lossshall be evaluated base
28、d on Table 3. Prior to completion of afinal testing phase, mass loss may be linearly extrapolatedbased on percent of the overall test completed.8.
