Use of Salt Spray Tester in Automobile Industries

The corrosion of metals is one of the most prevalent problems in industrial as well as domestic products. The corrosion is one of the biggest reasons for the reduction in the strength as well as durability of the metallic products. The corrosion is basically oxidation of the metals when they come to contact with chemicals, oxygen, moisture, etc. It is essential for the manufacturers of metallic components and products to check the corrosion resistance of the metal that they use for manufacturing of different products and components. The salt spray tester is a testing instrument that is used for testing the corrosion resistance of metallic products by creating artificial corrosive environments. The instrument is best for assessment of resistance that a material can offer to corrosion.

The instrument uses a highly corrosive solution of NACL along with some added acidic components that replicate the actual corrosive conditions that the specimen have to face during the usage. The sample is placed in the corrosive fog created by that solution for a specific amount of time. The time of exposure varies from material to material. After the test cycle completes, the sample is removed from the chamber and is evaluated for the extent of corrosion done to it.

Use of salt sprays tester in automotive industries
The automobile products have to face extremely corrosive conditions which can cause frequent corrosion in the products. This is why the manufacturers need to test the corrosion resistance of the products. The salt spray tester helps the manufacturers in analyzing the corrosive behavior of metals and other automotive products which ensure better quality and durability of the products.
