AS 2331.3.1 · neutral salt spray

Corrosion
Salt Spray Testing

Controlled corrosion exposure for coatings, finishes, metals and hardware components.

What the test tells you

Accelerate exposure.
Compare the finish.

Corrosion testing cannot reproduce every real coastal environment, but it provides a controlled and repeatable way to compare materials and finishes and to verify nominated test requirements.

SIIGMATIC can confirm whether the requested method sits within its current NATA scope and how the post-exposure assessment will be reported.

Typical scope

What we can
put under test.

01

Neutral salt spray

Expose specimens to a controlled saline fog for the nominated period.

02

Coating comparison

Compare alternative finishes or coating systems under identical exposure.

03

Hardware assemblies

Test complete or partial hardware where joints and interfaces may influence corrosion.

04

Development screening

Identify weak finishes before field release or formal qualification.

05

Post-test assessment

Document corrosion, blistering, coating breakdown or other agreed observations.
