Salt Fog & Other Accelerated Corrosion Tests Workshop

This workshop is intended for individuals who are running ASTM B-117 salt spray exposure tests or anyone who wants to become more familiar with the test, preparation of samples, evaluation of exposed specimens, and operation of the exposure cabinet.

Target Audience: Plating managers, process engineers, lab personnel

At the conclusion of the course, attendees should:

Have an understanding of the basic corrosion principles and how they apply to properly conducting and evaluating the ASTM B-117 salt fog accelerated corrosion test

Understand operational parameters and the proper method of preparation of the salt spray solution so they can conduct tests successfully in their respective plants

Have the necessary information and guidance for properly choosing test samples, protection of bare surfaces, proper mounting methods, and the methodology to be employed in evaluating test results

Gain sound professional advice on record keeping, QA/QC tests to be conducted, and other maintenance requirements of the salt spray chamber

Be able identify which test is best for specific purposes at their respective facilities, attendees will learn about all the other accelerated corrosion tests that are commonly employed on parts that have undergone metal finishing {other tests include the CASS (ASTM B-368), Humidity (ASTM D-2247), Corrodkote (ASTM B-380) and the Kesternich Test (German specification DIN50018)}
