Salt Spray Corrosion Testing
Accelerated corrosion resistance evaluation of coatings, paints and metal surfaces by neutral salt spray testing according to ISO 9227 and ASTM B117.
In short
Accelerated corrosion resistance evaluation of coatings, paints and metal surfaces by neutral salt spray testing according to ISO 9227 and ASTM B117. Salt spray corrosion testing is carried out in a ZL-6001 salt spray chamber under neutral salt spray (NSS) conditions with a 35 °C chamber temperature and 5 % sodium chloride solution.
Salt spray corrosion testing is carried out in a ZL-6001 salt spray chamber under neutral salt spray (NSS) conditions with a 35 °C chamber temperature and 5 % sodium chloride solution. Collection rate, pH and temperature are logged throughout the test to demonstrate conformity with ISO 9227 and ASTM B117. Specimens are inspected at agreed intervals; red/white rust, blistering, creep from the scribe line, bubbling and loss of adhesion are rated and photographed following the principles of the ISO 4628 series and ASTM D1654. The service answers whether zinc, zinc-nickel, chromium and phosphate coatings, powder and liquid paint systems, anodised aluminium and fasteners meet their specification, how coating suppliers compare and how corrosion performance evolves during product development. It serves the automotive, defence, white goods, construction and metal finishing industries.
What you receive
Test condition log (temperature, collection rate, pH, total exposure time)
Rating tables at agreed intervals and at test end (rust, blistering, scribe creep)
Photographic documentation before, during and after exposure
Test report referencing ISO 9227 / ASTM B117 (PDF)
Statement of conformity to specification on request
How it works
Request and scoping
The applicable standard, exposure duration, number of specimens, scribing and evaluation criteria are agreed with you.
Sample reception and preparation
Specimens are logged, cleaned, edge-masked where required, scribed and photographed in their initial condition before being racked in the chamber.
Measurement
Chamber parameters are monitored and logged throughout exposure; specimens are withdrawn at agreed intervals for inspection and rating.
Reporting
Results are presented in the standard analysis report; supporting technical documentation is shared on request.

Salt Spray Testing: What the Hours Really Mean
"500 hours of salt spray" does not mean a product will last five years. We explain what ISO 9227 and ASTM B117 tests actually measure, what they do not, and how to write a test specification that produces a meaningful answer.
