ASTM B117
Salt Spray and Salt Fog Testing
ASTM B117 is an American standard that provides a controlled accelerated corrosive environment to evaluate the coatings or substrates corrosive resistance. Any product/material that is exposed to the elements must be able to withstand corrosion. ASTM B117 or salt spray test takes these products/materials and exposes them to controlled conditions to measure these corrosive properties. ASTM D610 is one of the many corrosion specifications used to evaluate samples that have been exposed. Samples are placed inside a chamber and exposed continuously to an atomized / fog salt solution along with a controlled temperature. Type IV deionized water with 5% salt by volume is used in the salt solution that causes the corrosive behavior. Aside from the corrosive behavior to the visual aspect of the samples that are tested, physical and electrical aspects can also be evaluated as well to ensure the product or material is still functioning.
