Table of Content [Hide]

    Why ASTM G85 Salt Spray Chamber is Essential for Industrial Parts

    Industrial parts are constantly exposed to harsh environments, including salt-laden atmospheres and high humidity, which can cause significant corrosion and reduce reliability. Surface treatments like galvanization, nickel plating, anodization, and specialized coatings protect materials effectively.

    To accurately evaluate these surface treatments, ASTM G85 Salt Spray Chamber testing is indispensable. As a precise cycle corrosion tester, it simulates real-world environmental conditions, providing repeatable and reliable results in compliance with ASTM G85 standards.

    Application & Testing Process – How Industrial Parts Are Tested with Cycle Corrosion Tester

    The ASTM G85 Salt Spray Chamber is ideal for testing industrial parts such as bolts, gears, metal sheets, and coated components. Surface treatments, including galvanization, nickel plating, anodization, and powder coatings, can be evaluated under controlled cycles of salt fog, temperature, and humidity.

    Testing procedure:

    1. Sample preparation: Clean and label samples to ensure consistent results.

    2. Placement: Samples are mounted on round bars or racks within the cyclic corrosion chamber to ensure uniform exposure.

    3. Cycle settings: The ASTM G85 salt spray chamber, functioning as a salt spray cyclic corrosion tester, runs programmed corrosion cycles with specific temperature, humidity, and salt fog deposition.

    4. Data collection: Corrosion progress is monitored, and data is recorded for analysis of coating performance.

    By simulating real-world environmental stress, the cycle corrosion tester enables manufacturers to identify the most durable surface treatments for their components.


    Advantages, Case Studies & FAQ – Why LIB Industry Stands Out

    Advantages of LIB industry ASTM G85 Salt Spray Chamber:

     - Precise control and uniform corrosion conditions for consistent results.

    - External evaporator humidifier and purified water system ensure stable and repeatable humidity.

    - Capable of testing various surface treatments, providing actionable insights for material selection.

    Case study: A manufacturer of automotive bolts tested galvanized and powder-coated samples. After 500 hours of cyclic corrosion testing, galvanized bolts showed minor corrosion, while powder-coated bolts remained corrosion-free, validating the coating selection for long-term durability.

    FAQ:

    1. How to prevent salt spray leakage?

    The unit uses one-piece glass fiber reinforced plastics with a water-sealed groove. Adding water into the groove during testing effectively prevents salt fog from leaking, ensuring a safe and clean environment.


    2. What water is used for humidity in the cyclic salt corrosion test? 

    Purified water from the automatic inlet is supplied, with the system regulating flow to maintain uniform humidity throughout the testing process.


    3. What maintenance work is required for the salt spray tester?

    • Regular cleaning of nozzles and chamber to prevent salt crystallization.

    • Periodic replacement of water in the saturation barrel to ensure stable humidity.

    • Routine dust removal from electrical components to maintain safe operation.


    4. Can manual covers be upgraded to pneumatic fiberglass covers? 

    Yes. LIB industry offers non-standard customization to replace manual transparent covers with pneumatic fiberglass covers for convenience and enhanced sealing.
