Introduction to ASTM D6899
Accelerated lab tests for cyclic corrosion simulate changing conditions in car coatings, assessing various corrosion mechanisms. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out ASTM E563 tests for our clients. These tests use settings like dry and salty fog to speed up metallic corrosion. ASTM D6899 ensures the test technique doesn’t impact conclusions about investigated variables and helps users achieve good inter-laboratory agreement of results in this type of test.
ASTM D6899 Test Method
Compound Corrosion Tests
| CCT I | A 5% salt solution must be utilized. The collected solution’s pH should be between 6.5 and 7.2. The exposure cycle lasts 8 hours and usually lasts 200 cycles. There must be a 30-minute ramp time or less. |
| CCT II | A 5% sodium chloride salt solution must be utilized. The collected solution’s pH should be between 6.5 and 7.2. There is an 8-hour exposure cycle. |
| CCT III | A 5% salt solution must be utilized. The collected solution’s pH should be between 6.5 and 7.2. The exposure period usually lasts for 4000 cycles. |
| CCT IV | A 5% salt solution must be utilized. The collected solution’s pH should be between 6.5 and 7.2. A single exposure cycle cannot exceed 24 hands for 10 minutes. There must be a 30-minute ramp time or less. |
ASTM D6899 Test Specimen
| Specimen Detail | The kind of specimen and any surface preparations that are required must be outlined in the relevant papers or predetermined by the parties. The specimen should mimic typical production settings and materials. |
| Specimen Size | Specimen size is not specified. |
