ISO 4623-2 Filiform Corrosion Resistance Test Device

Aluminium Coating Filiform Corrosion Testing Under Controlled Salt Fog Conditions

Unlike conventional salt spray chambers used primarily for general surface corrosion, the ISO 4623-2 Filiform Corrosion Resistance Test Device evaluates underfilm, thread-like filiform corrosion that develops from a scribe or coating defect and propagates beneath paint, varnish, and protective coatings on aluminium substrates.

By combining controlled temperature, high humidity, and uniform salt fog exposure, the chamber provides a reproducible environment for accelerating filiform corrosion development. It helps evaluate corrosion propagation from scribe lines, coating protection performance, and susceptibility to underfilm corrosion. The device is suitable for coated aluminium used in automotive, aerospace, architectural, and industrial applications.

ISO 4623-2 Filiform Corrosion Testing with LIB Test Equipment


Why Choose LIB Industry Filiform Corrosion Resistance Tester?

Purpose-Built for Scribe & Coating Failure Evaluation

Optimized specifically for testing pre-damaged test panels (scribed coatings per ISO 4623-2 / ISO 9227), revealing sub-coating blistering and thread-like filament growth long before visual surface damage appears.

Stable High-Humidity Environment Controls

Filiform corrosion uniquely thrives under high relative humidity (80%–98% RH). Integrated ambient-to-+60℃ temperature management combined with micro-atomization ensures non-condensing, steady moisture conditions.

Continuous & Cyclic Test Versatility

Supports continuous fine-fog spraying as well as automated multi-stage cyclic modes (Salt Spray → High Humidity → Ambient Drying →  Dwell), replicating real-world atmospheric alternations.

Anti-Corrosive Seamless FRP Construction

Molded with heavy-duty Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) to ensure high structural integrity, zero chemical interaction with aggressive test media, and 100% leak-proof operations.

FAQ

Is this the same as a standard salt spray chamber?

Not exactly. The equipment uses a salt fog generation system similar to a conventional salt spray chamber, but its application is focused on filiform corrosion evaluation of coated substrates, particularly coated aluminium under ISO 4623-2.

Can the chamber test other coating systems?

Yes. The chamber can be used for coating and corrosion research beyond a single application, provided that the environmental conditions and specimen preparation are appropriate for the selected test method.

Can the sample holder be customized?

Yes. LIB can provide customized fixtures for aluminium profiles, panels, components, and other specimen geometries.

How is filiform corrosion evaluated after testing?

The exposed specimens are examined for corrosion filaments developing from the artificial coating defect. The extent of filiform corrosion can then be evaluated according to the applicable assessment method.

ISO 4628-10:2024 provides a current method for assessing the degree of filiform corrosion, including measurement of filament length.

Does LIB provide after-sales service?

Yes. LIB offers a 3-year warranty, lifetime technical support, and spare parts service, with responsive assistance for troubleshooting, maintenance, and equipment operation.
