The ANALYZES AND SURFACE laboratory has within the 6NAPSE Group a cycled chamber with neutral salt spray that can meet many standards and CDC.
The resistance of materials or finished parts to the life cycle is an important criterion in the validation of a design. The choice of metallic materials, treatments or paints is essential in the lifespan of a product and that for many sectors of activity.
Oxidation phenomena or appearance defects are failures that manufacturers want to avoid in order to safeguard the visual, mechanical and functional characteristics of their products.
Many paints and coatings exist to improve the resistance to cyclic corrosion of metal parts. The nuances of the materials are also very numerous (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, magnesium,…). A comparison in a multi-physics test of the different choices of materials is essential.
We have a cycled salt spray chamber suitable for carrying out “AASS” type accelerated aging tests according to standard NE EN ISO 9227.
The resistance of products to multiple conditions is therefore an essential step to validate. The different cycles necessary for the validation of a product can include:
• A neutral salt spray cycle (NSS)
• An acetic salt spray cycle (AASS)
• A forced drying cycle (or forced convection)
• A humidification cycle (Temperature / Humidity)
• A dry air cycle
• A rinsing cycle
• A water spray cycle
•…
With a self-approved Renault Q-LAB Q-FOG CRH 1100 chamber, we have the possibility of testing bulky and heavy parts in cycle salt spray tests.
Associated with our means of observations (photos and light booth), characterization (optical microscopy, colorimetry, shine, etc.), paint resistance (scratches, abrasion, squaring, Scratch Test, adhesion, etc.), we can respond to your requests for support for validation plans (tests in all sectors: automotive, rail, aeronautics, transport, packaging, etc.).
The results of these cyclic tests allow manufacturers to validate the processes and choices, to qualify your suppliers or to determine the corrosion resistance of new products.
