Cyclic Corrosion Testing (abbreviated as CCT) is an environmental simulation testing method widely used in the automotive, aviation, electronics and metal materials industries.
The cyclic corrosion test chamber accelerates the evaluation of the corrosion resistance of products by simulating the periodically changing climatic conditions such as salt spray, dryness, high temperature and high humidity in the natural environment. Temperature and humidity control is one of the most crucial parameters throughout the entire test process, which has a direct impact on the corrosion rate, corrosion morphology, and the repeatability of the test results.
In cyclic corrosion tests, temperature and humidity usually need to be flexibly switched at different stages, for example:·
High-temperature drying stage: 40℃ to 60℃, RH < 30%
Wet and heat stage: 45℃ to 50℃, RH > 95%
Salt spray stage: 35℃±1℃, saturated salt water spray (5% NaCl solution)
An increase in temperature will accelerate corrosion reactions, such as oxidation, chlorination, sulfidation, etc. The increase in humidity is conducive to the formation of a water film on the metal surface by electrolytes, promoting electrochemical reactions. Inaccurate control will lead to distortion of the corrosion rate, and the test will lose its reference value. Therefore, in CCT, the accuracy of temperature and humidity control directly determines the consistency and scientific nature of the test.
