What Does a Cyclic Corrosion Test Cycle Look Like?
Different standards define different corrosion cycles. The following example shows how an automotive cyclic corrosion procedure can alternate environmental conditions instead of maintaining continuous salt spray.
SAE J2334 Automotive Cyclic Corrosion Cycle
24-Hour Cycle
① Humid Stage 50°C · 100% RH · 6 h | ② Salt Application 15 min · Salt Solution | ③ Dry Stage 60°C · 50% RH · 17 h 45 min |
Repeat the Cycle
24 h → 24 h → 24 h → ...
This cycle illustrates the basic principle of cyclic corrosion testing:
High Humidity → Salt Application → Drying → Repeat
The exact exposure procedure should always be configured according to the applicable standard, revision, and test requirement.
Key Features for Stable Cyclic Corrosion Testing
Programmable Test Cycles
The control system manages temperature, humidity, salt spray and other programmed stages, allowing the chamber to automatically switch between different environmental conditions during a test cycle.
Corrosion-Resistant FRP Workroom
The reinforced glass fiber reinforced plastic workroom is molded as an integrated structure to provide corrosion resistance and reduce the risk of water leakage.
Controlled Salt Fog Distribution
The atomizer tower and spray nozzles generate salt fog and distribute it throughout the workroom. Salt fog deposition can be monitored using the standard collection system.
Integrated Temperature and Humidity Control
Heating, refrigeration and humidification systems work together to establish the temperature and humidity conditions required for different stages of cyclic corrosion testing.
Adjustable Specimen Placement
The standard round-bar sample holder allows specimens to be positioned at different angles. Customized specimen fixtures are also available for special test requirements.
Automated Operation and Safety Protection
The programmable controller enables automated test operation, while multiple protection functions help safeguard the equipment during long-duration testing.
