Accelerated Corrosion
- Accelerated corrosion simulating 1 year in 2 weeks
- Whole vehicle, system or component
- Exposure to salt, gravel and dust
- Elevated temperature and humidity
- Stone chipping
- Salt splash and spray
- Various road surfaces and vehicle speeds to promote and accelerate corrosion mechanisms
Corrosion performance can make or break a manufacturer's reputation, and in many instances will be the overriding factor governing the lifespan of a vehicle. We are able to conduct corrosion tests, correlated to "real world" conditions, at all stages of development from prototype through to production.
Such tests, which can be combined with structural or quality programmes, will ensure that coatings provide sufficient protection for the target market but of equal importance are not over specified.
Environmental chambers are available to accommodate any size of test piece, up to a double decker bus, with tests further enhanced by the addition of solar load simulation and chemical or dust contamination. Combinations of temperature, humidity and solar loading are available to reproduce just about any real-world climate, with accelerated ageing achievable through the application of extreme conditions.
