Re: Increasing corrosion rate



The issue is that we were told a certain type of coating would last
1000 hours in a salt spray test with 5% salt @ 35degC, and we want to
verify that this is true in a shorter time.

I made a mistake in my original post. The products are actually made
of aluminum, not steel. And I also made the mistake of saying the
corrosion rate of the steel (or aluminum) instead of the coating.
Sorry for the mix up! I'm still learning. However, I think this would
be inconsequential if I could determine a (such as the Arrhenius
equation) corrosion rate vs. temperature relationship in any material
undergoing a salt spray test.

I am not sure that the Arrhenius equation applies though, since this is
a 'spray' test, not a 'bath' test. Is this correct? Wouldn't the
corrosion rate also depend on the pressure of the spray?

Thanks.
