Corrosion testing

Corrosion creeps under coatings and attacks the products. To reduce these costly failure effects ERICHSEN offer a wide range of testing instruments. Some time or other almost every material will be attacked by corrosion. There are only a few materials, e. g. noble metals, that resist corrosion for a long time. Acid rain, exhaust emission and other influences of civilisation contribute to the caducity of values.

The aggressive influences of humidity, acids, alkaline solutions and gases act particularly corrosion inciting on metals. Weld and solder seams, rivets and screw fittings made from different metals occasion electrolytic reactions which stimulate the chemical corrosion. Corrosion in plastics occurs among other things by dissolving out the softeners. UV light, heat and the capture of foreign matters accelerate this development. Plastics don't get rusty, but corrosion becomes noticeable by cracking, softening, brittleness and change of colour. Efforts are made to retard or to stop the corrosion by coatings and electroplating. Using the ERICHSEN Corrosion Testing Equipment it is possible to make corrosion "measurable". Tests like the condensation water test and the salt spray fog test are the base for the determination of surface corrosion.

Corrosion Testing Equipment  606 / 300-Basic
The compact Corrosion Testing Instrument in modular design, Model 606-Basic / 300l, to perform salt spray and condensation tests, is made of impact resistant, eco-friendly polypropylene material.
It consists of a test chamber of 300 l capacity, and a built-in control unit as well as an integrated storage tank for approx. 125 l salt solution.
The control unit is equipped with the necessary control instruments.
The large, transparent access door allows easy mounting of specimens, which may e.g. be hung from the delivered sample rods, to be exposed to aggressive salt spray for a certain period of time.
A dosing pump serves for an infinitely variable adjustment to achieve optimum consumption of spray solution.
Test chamber in rectangular design, front opening with safety door, specially for small specimen.
The test apparatus ready for operation.

Test 1: Condensation test
Test 2 : Salt spray (fog) tests
Effective Volume : 300l
Purpose and application:
Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are attacked continuously by humidity, acids, solutions, gases etc.
It is therefore vitally important to choose the correct surface protection.
There are many materials and qualities on the market and their properties must be properly assessed.
Materials intended to prevent corrosion must be tested if failures are to be avoided.
Furthermore the comparative quality control during production is of increasing importance.
The best known processes employ spray vapour tests using various salt solutions as well as condensation water climates.

Test principle:
Aggressive solutions are turned into a vapour mist in accordance with the tests that are listed below.
These vapours surround the specimens in the test chamber either continuously or in a cyclic manner.
The corrosion resistance of the individual specimens is established on the basis of the difference in time before the first corrosive effects become apparent.
