Top 10 Reasons Of Corrosion Have A Solution - Pacorr Cass Salt Spray Testing

As per World Corrosion Organization the worldwide annual loss suffered due the corrosion is 3% of world’s GDP that is about 2.2 trillion dollar. We need to take corrosion very seriously and try to understand the basics of corrosion, why does it occur? How can it be solved? What it is?

Corrosion is the natural deterioration of metals as they react with the environment, often forming oxides. Commonly seen in the rusting of iron exposed to oxygen and moisture, it weakens the metal's structure through chemical reactions.The corrosion occurs due to several reasons are as follows:

1. Physical loss of material from the surface can release harmful substances into the environment. For example, metal pipe corrosion in industrial settings could lead to the leakage of pollutants or hazardous materials.
2. Moisture, humidity and temperature extreme exposure to these varying harsh environmental conditions can accelerate corrosion processes.
3. Chemical exposure to corrosive chemicals, acids, and salts can lead to corrosion.
4. Lack of protective coatings leave them vulnerable to corrosion.
5. Poor material selection is corrosion-prone which may lead to premature corrosion.
6. Poor design and construction practices or insufficient attention to drainage and ventilation can create environments conducive to corrosion.
7. Biological factors like the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi can contribute to corrosion, particularly in environments with water or moisture.
8. Electrochemical factors like galvanic corrosion occur due to the contact of different metals and electrolytes react to accelerate the corrosion.
9. Abrasive particles lead to mechanical damage of protective coatings, exposing metal surfaces to corrosion.
10. Air pollution including industrial emissions and atmospheric pollutants, can contribute to corrosion.

Mitigating these issues involves strategic actions such as selecting appropriate materials, employing meticulous design practices, implementing effective maintenance procedures, and adopting corrosion prevention strategies. These measures can significantly reduce the adverse effects of corrosion, contributing to the prolonged durability of industrial equipment and structures.

All the above-discussed problems have only one solution which is corrosion testing. Pacor copper-accelerated acetic acid-CASS salt spray testing is a corrosion assessment methodology, that plays a crucial role in gauging the corrosion resistance of metallic substances, coatings, and various products.

The procedure requires test specimens to a corrosive setting, usually, a mist or fog of salt spray intensified by the inclusion of acetic acid and copper chloride. Widely adopted in the automotive and aerospace sectors, this accelerated corrosion test serves as a valuable tool for evaluating the longevity and corrosion resilience of diverse materials and coatings.

The quality control laboratories preferred Pacorr CASS salt spray testing which timely delivers precise design to protect the electroplated coating of the metals. It enhances the quality of the material by testing it in the harsh salt-laden environment inside the robust chamber made up of high-strength fibre-reinforced plastic. Our designed equipment strictly adheres to the internationally accepted guidelines of ASTM B117, ISO 9227 and JIS Z 2371.

The test can be performed for a very long duration depending upon the specimen that needs to be tested. CASS testing is widely adopted by several industrial sectors. The HMI touch panel attached to this testing equipment will make it more user-friendly. The PLC-controlled PID is provided to maintain the temperature during the test. It’s available in different capacities like 250 liters, 450 liters and 1000 liters. The specimens are placed at 45 degree angle and the HMI interface provides various features that make the procedure handling very easy. CASS testing provides a guarantee to the manufacturer the durability, strength and high quality of the material used for any application under any harsh corrosive condition.

Pacorr Testing Instrument Private Limited has designed this equipment to resolve the loss suffered by the industrial problems arising due to corrosion. We understand that is why our technical team vigorously working to provide you ease and help so that your metal surfaces of precious parts, products or machineries remain defended from corrosive attacks and make your material highly corrosion resistant, effective and efficient.
