The Q-FOG cyclic corrosion salt spray test chamber has a wide range of applications in the automotive industry. This chamber is designed to simulate salt spray corrosion conditions in a marine environment and to test the corrosion resistance of materials and components in this environment.
In the automotive industry, the Q-FOG cyclic corrosion salt spray test chamber is mainly used in the following areas:
1.Body corrosion protection: The body is the part of the car that is most susceptible to corrosion when exposed to the external environment. Salt spray corrosion in marine environments can be simulated using the Q-FOG test chamber to evaluate the corrosion resistance of body materials under laboratory conditions to provide better protection and material selection.
2.Corrosion resistance of electronic devices: Electronic devices and electrical connectors are widely used in modern automobiles. Exposure to salt spray can cause problems such as poor contact and poor conductivity. By using the Q-FOG test chamber, it is possible to test the corrosion resistance of electronic devices and connectors in salt spray environments and ensure that they can operate reliably in harsh environments for long periods of time.
3.Coating and surface treatment evaluation: Coating and surface treatment of automotive surfaces are concerned with appearance, protection, and weather resistance. The Q-FOG chamber can be used to evaluate the corrosion resistance, weatherability and scratch resistance of the coating to ensure that the coating will last long in a salt spray environment.
4.Corrosion resistance of components: Various parts of the vehicle, such as bolts, nuts, suspension parts, etc., also need to be corrosion resistant in salt spray environments. By testing in a Q-FOG test chamber, the corrosion resistance of these components can be evaluated, and based on the test results, material selection and design improvements can be made.
In summary, Q-FOG cyclic corrosion salt spray test chambers are widely used in the automotive industry to evaluate the corrosion resistance of car bodies, electronics, components and coatings in salt spray environments. With this chamber, automakers can identify and address corrosion problems before they occur to ensure the reliability, durability and quality of the vehicle.
Introduction of the Q-FOG Cyclic Corrosion Salt Spray Test Chamber
Q-FOG cyclic corrosion salt spray chamber can simulate a variety of salt spray environments, and is suitable for salt spray aging resistance testing of various clothing metal parts, electroplating parts, paint parts, automotive parts, electronic components and other materials. Studies have shown that cyclic corrosion test results are similar to outdoor in terms of structure formation, morphology, and relative corrosion rates.
Prior to cyclic corrosion testing, traditional salt spray (35 C continuous salt spray) testing was the standard way to simulate corrosion in laboratories. Because the traditional salt spray test method fails to simulate the natural wet and dry cycle outdoors, the test results are often not well correlated with the outdoors.
In the Q-FOG cyclic corrosion chamber, the sample is exposed to a range of different environments that simulate the outdoors and repeat cycles. Simple cycles, such as the prohesion cycle, can be cycled between salt spray and drying. More complex automotive testing methods may require a multi-step cycle of salt spray and drying in combination with humidity or condensation.
In a Q-FOG cyclic corrosion tester chamber, it can be cycled through a range of important corrosive environments. Even extremely complex test cycles can be easily programmed with the Q-FOG controller.
The Q-FOG is available in three models. The SSP model is used for conventional salt spray and Prohesion testing. The CCT model is used for cyclic automotive testing with salt spray, Prohesion and 100% humidity. The CRH model is used for conventional salt spray, Prohesion (Alternate Wet and Dry Salt Spray Testing) and most automotive cyclic corrosion tests. It is characterized by adjustable relative humidity and precise control of the rise time, as well as an optional flushing function.
