10.3 Testing
10.3.1 General
Two alternative procedures are available, based on initiation by dipping In sodium chloride solutIon or by exposure to salt fog. The dipping technique is generally preferable for air-drying and low-durability materials. For high-durability systems such as automobile finishes applied to phosphated steel, the dipping technique may not produce Illiform corrosion and for these systems It Is preferable to adopt the salt log technique. In such cases, the necessary period of exposure to salt fog will depend on the durability of the material under test but should rarely need to exceed 4 h. It should be noted that salt fog exposure is not normally suitable for low-durability materials since with such systems it commonly produces heavy general corrosion spreading from the scribed marks and the liliform corrosion is suppressed
10.3.2 Dipping technique
Immerse the scribed test panels for 30 s to 60 s in the sodium chloride solution (81).
Take the panels out of the solution and remove any drops of liquid remaining on the surface, taking care not to remove the solution from the scribed marks.
Place the panels in the test cabinet (Li) maintained at (40 ± 2) °C and a relative humidity of (80 t 5) %. Repeat the Immersion procedure, as specified above, every 3 or 4 days until the end of the specified test period.
10.3.3 Salt fog technique
Expose the scribed test panels to neutral salt fog as described in ISO 9227 for the specified period.
Take the panels out of the salt fog cabinet and remove any drops of liquid remaining on the surface, taking care not to remove the solution from the scribed marks.
Place the panels In the test cabinet (Li) maintained at (40 ± 2) C and a relative humidity of (80 ± 5) % for the specified test period.
10.4 Inspection of test panels
Where appropriate, at the specified intervals of re-immersion and on completion of the test, inspect the test panels for filiform corrosion (see ISO 4628-10). Do not allow the test panels to become completely dry at any time during the test period or during inspection, as this may affect the development of the filiform corrosion.
11 Evaluation of the degree of filiform corrosion
Evaluation of the degree of filiform corrosion is normally carried out subjectively and reported in general terms such as slight”, moderate or “severe as in 1511 41,211-10. If specified, using the ruler (72) determine the maximum extent of the Illilorm corrosion as described in ISO 4628-10.
If specified, determine corrosion other than filiform about the scribe marks as described in.
If specified, remove the coating with a non-corrosive paint remover and re-examine the substrate.
Photographs of the test panels at the conclusion of the test may be useful in assessing the extent of filiform corrosion.
12 Precision
No relevant precision data are currently available.
