Abstract

In corrosion science and engineering large efforts have been made to develop quantitative accelerated atmosheric

corrosion tests for the purpose of product qualification. As a result of this work a broad spectrum of methods now

exists of which some are also available as international standards. The new kind of accelerated corrosion tests offer

many new possibilities. However, to identify the most relevant method for one specific application requires

knowledge that usually goes beyond what you can get from a single standard. A joint project with participants from

test institutes and industries from all the Nordic countries was therefore undertaken to prepare a guideline for

comparing and rating existing accelerated corrosion tests for the purpose of product qualification. In the guideline

resulting from this work the following aspects were taken i nto account: (a) categories of existing accelerated

atmospheric corrosion tests, (b) recommended fields of application for the different kinds of tests and their

suitability, (c) corrosivity of tests and relative corrosion rates of standard metals, (d) requirement on test equipment,

criteria for reproducibility and correlation with in-service performance, and (e) recommended procedures for

product qualification. In the present paper all those aspects are briefly discussed and the recommendations given in

the guideline briefly reviewed.

1. Introduction

In corrosion testing there has been a development from qualitative to more quantitative methods and the prerequi-

sites for corrosion testing in product qualification are changing as schematically illustrated in Table 1. Modern

technologies for control and regulation of climatic test parameters are adopted in test equipment so that the repr o-

ducibility of tests increases. To make possible a better translation of laboratory test results into in-service perfor-

mance, quantitative methods for characterization of corrosivity have been introduced during recent years. To evalu-

ate the effect of corrosion attack on product functional performance, quantitative methods are adopted for assessing

changes in the functional properties as well as in the associated chemical changes resulting from corrosion of the

materials of the component.

In atmospheric corrosion testing cyclic corrosion tests are introduced to better simulate the natural climatic condi-

tions and variations that determine the reaction paths and rates of natural occurring corrosion processes. For quali-

fication purposes multifactor tests are required as a consequence of the fact that products, components and even

materials are becoming more complex. Technical service life and service reliability need to be estimated alr eady

during the very first phases of product or component development. Moreover, lead-times in the development of

new products need to be minimized, thus, requiring short-term tests to be used for qualification of products instead

of long-term tests with testing times in the order of the required service life of the product or component tested.

Field site exposure testing was and still is the traditional way to verify the corrosion resistance of new materials and

products, especially for testing new surface treatment systems or coatings for corrosion protection. Field test sites

can be selected at places of high corrosivity as in marine or industrial areas. The field test sites therefore often

represent worst cases of environments and as such the tests at those sites can be considered as ac celerated tests. The

degree of acceleration is, however, mostly moderate and it generally takes a long time to get an answer whether a

tested material or product should be considered qualified with respect to its corrosion resistance.

For qualification of new materials and products with respect to corrosion resistance therefore accelerated corrosion

tests generally need to be adopted during product design work. The higher the degree of acceleration of a corrosion

test the more favourable the accelerated corrosion test will be in keeping the required tes ting time short. On the

other hand, the higher the acceleration of the corrosion process needs to be during testing the harder there is to sim-

ulate properly the natural occurring corrosion processes. This is pointing at the main problem in designing mean-

ingful accelerated corrosion tests for product qualification.

Large efforts have been made to develop accelerated corrosion tests for the purpose of product qualification. As a

result of this work a broad spectrum of methods now exists of which some are also available as international stand-

ards. However, some of those tests are intended only for checking the comparative quality of a metallic material

with or without corrosion protection while others may even be useful for predicting or estimating the long-term

performance of a product with metallic materials when exposed to corrosive stress representing in-service

conditions.

To identify the most relevant method for one specific application requires knowledge that usually goes beyond

what you can get from a single standard. A joint project with participants from test institutes and industries from all

the Nordic countries was therefore undertaken to prepare a guideline for comparing and rating existing accelerated

corrosion tests for the purpose of product qualification [2]. In the guideline resulting from this work the following

aspects are taken into account: (a) categories of existing accelerated atmospheric corrosion tests, (b) recommended

fields of application for the different kinds of tests and their suitability, (c) corrosivity of tests and relative

corrosion rates of standard metals, (d) requirement on test equipment, criteria for reproducibility and correlation

with in-service performance, and (e) recommended procedures for product qualification. In the present paper all

those aspects will be briefly discussed and the recommendations given in the guideline briefly reviewed.

3 Categories and characteristics of accelerated corrosion tests

The oldest and most wildly used method for laboratory accelerated corrosion testing is maybe the continuous

neutral salt spray test (category A in Table 2). The continuous salt spray test is particularly useful for detecting

discontinuities such as pores and other defects in certain metallic, anodic oxide and conversion coatings as well as

in organic coatings. However, although used extensively for the purposes of qualification testing, results from

continuous salt spray testing seldom correlate well with in -service performance.

Tests with continuous exposure to atmospheres with higher

concentrations of corrosion promoting gases and at higher

humidity including also steps of drying and short period of salt

spraying

60068-2-30[18], NT elec 025

One way to increase this ability is to introduce a step of drying after salt spray exposure (category B in Table 2).

Even better, however is to combine salt spray exposure with humidity cycling between a high humidity level and a

low humidity level (category C in Table 2) and, thus, introducing both wetting and drying in the corrosion test

cycle. Results from such tests turn out to correlate reasonably well with in- service performance at normal outdoor

conditions. A number of cyclic accelerated corrosion tests based on this principle have been developed and

standardised. The complexity of such tests, however, varies and so the requirements on test equipment. To get

better control of the factors determining the rate of corrosion and relevance to in-service corrosion performance

advanced systems have come into use.

Certain air pollutants as sulphur dioxide SO2 , nitrogen dioxide NO2, hydrogen sulphide H2 S, and chlorine Cl2 pre-

sent in air as trace substances promote corrosion of metals under high humidity conditions and need to be taken

into consideration in the evaluation of corrosion resistance of products that are especially sensitive to corrosion

failures such as electronic devices. High humidity exposure tests in the presence of such air pollutants are therefore

frequently used in the qualification of electronic products with respect to corrosion resistance (category D in Table

2). Corrosion effects may appear at air volume fractions of pollutants less than of 10-6 . The conduct of air pollutant

corrosion tests, therefore, requires very special kind of test equipment. Moreover mixtures of polluting gases are

often used to simulate synergistic effects.

To assess corrosion resistance of certain products, tests combining intermittent salt spraying with exposure to

corrosion promoting gases have also been introduced (category E in Table 2). Additional synergistic effects may be

tested by such methods. The tests are also recommended for qualification of products designed for use in relative

corrosive environments.

Sometimes tests involving exposure of test specimens to high humidity and to condensing water are considered as

corrosion tests (category F in Table 2). Such test may produce corrosion effects on metallic parts of products if

surface contaminants in the form of salts are present. Condensation tests are also used for the testing of organic

coatings because they may induce damage caused by swelling and out- leakage of additives. For testing of

electronic devices high humidity tests are used for control of air- tightness and in-leakage of water in the equipment.

A special case of that is testing the corrosion protection capability of a semi permeable enclosure with electric

device by initiating rapid cooling of the enclosure. This will cause the pumping of damp air into the enclosure and

there result in condensation of water vapour if the cooling effect is sufficiently high.

4 Recommended fields of application for different kinds of tests and their suitability

During recent years methods for quantitative assessment and classification of atmospheric corrosivity have been

developed and some of those exist also as international standards[20-24]. Atmospheric corrosivity for a specific

location may either be estimated from meteorological data as described in ISO 9223[20] or assessed by measuring

the corrosion rate of standard metal specimens at this location as described in ISO 9226[21].

The suitability of the different categories of corrosion tests for product qualification was estimated in the Nordic

project and the result is given in Table 3 for four different fields of applications and at varying corrosivity of an

intended in-service environment in those applications. The corrosivity categories C1 = very low corrosivity, C2 =

low corrosivity, C3 = medium corrosivity, C4 = high corrosivity, and C5 = very high corrosivity given in Table 2

are defined quantitatively in the standard ISO 9223[20]. The severi ty classes G1 = mild, G2 = moderate, G3 =

harsh, and GX = severe appearing in Table 3 are quantitatively defined in ISA S71.04[24].

For expressing the suitability of a specific category of corrosion test the following classes are used:

P = Preferred kind of method,

U = Useful for comparative testing of similar products, and

N = Not useful unless for quality control of the same product.

General statements on the suitability of the different categories of tests for assessing the corrosion resistance of

specific metallic materials are given in Table 4 by making use of the same classes of suitability as used in Table 3.

In the table some considerations needed to be taken into account when selecting the most appropriate test method

within a certain category of corrosion tests are also stated.

1) Consideration should be paid to the fact that some test methods enhance the corrosion of zinc relative to that of carbon steel, see Table 5.

2) Consideration should be paid to the fact that for some methods the drying times are too short and the salt load too high to avoid locking of

paint under-creep corrosion for many coating systems. Crevice corrosion may be hampered by the same reason . In the selection of corrosion

test method and specification of test severity consideration should be paid to the fact whether open air or crevice corrosion is the most

critical.

3) Most methods are not capable to simulate all type of failure modes for painted aluminium.

4) Kind of test method mainly intended for testing of electric devices from mild to harsh corrosive enviro nments.

5) Preferable kind of test method in connection with testing of electric devices but is also more generally appli cable,

6) Condensation testing of value for checking wet adhesion of coatings.

7) Preferred kind of method for testing electric devices when the effect of inner salt contaminants dominates.

8) Temporary corrosion protection includes in this case surface treatment with waxes or other agents to protect metal sur face from moisture.

5 Corrosivity of tests and relative corrosion rates of standard metals

The use of standard metal specimen exposure to assess corrosivity or corrosion load should preferably be adopted

for characterizing the corrosive stress in a specific accelerated corrosion test. Data on corrosivity with respect to

corrosion of standard metal specimens are available for many standard tests and such data can be used to com pare

different tests. To illustrate how the corrosive stress varies between some standard tests, estimated mean testing

times to reach a metallic mass loss of carbon steel corresponding to 10 years of outdoor exposure in corrosivity

category C3 mean, according to ISO 9224 are presented in Figure 1.

(Mean testing times have been estimated from metallic mass loss data found in the respective standards and it has further been

assumed that metallic mass loss versus exposure time for the accelerated tests is linear. Concerning ISO 11474 data represen-

tative for testing during winter season at SP Swedish National Testing and Research Institute are used.)

The corrosion rate of one standard metal in relation to the corrosion rate of another standard metal in an accelerated

corrosion test should be considered in the choice of th e most suitable test for a given application. The relative

corrosion rate of the two standard metals in the test compared to the relative corrosion rate of the same metals

under in-service conditions is a measure on how well the test reproduces in- service corrosion behaviour. To

illustrate this, corrosion load data for carbon steel and for zinc in some standard accelerated corrosion tests are

shown in Table 5.

kind for the other accelerated tests are not presently available.

For the purpose of product qualification, results from standard metal specimen exposure under in-service condi-

tions would be used to estimate the most likely lifetime corrosion load a product may be exposed to during its de-

signed service lifetime. This estimated in-service corrosion load may thereafter be used to estimate the necessary

exposure time for a product qualification test. How relevant this equivalent corrosion load approach is for the prod-

uct to be tested and qualified depends on many factors as the corrosion properties of the materials of the product,

the standard metal used for corrosion load estimations, the available in- service corrosion data, and the accelerated

test selected for product qualification. But, the better the accelerated test is in simulating in-service corrosion be-

haviour the more reliable predictions can be made from the results of the test of course.

6 Requirement on test equipment and reproducibility of test results

The requirements on test equipment may vary considerably between different standardized accelerated corro sion

tests. In the choice of test equipment, the requirements set by the test method considered the most suitable and that

on reproducibility of test results should be first considered. Of importance in the selection of test equipment is, of

course, also the availability of test equipment required for the various tests that can come into question and the

cost of test. It should be pointe out that when using simple test methods, it is important to check the test conditions

very carefully for obtaining a reasonably high reproducibility. The corrosivity of the test should be checked by

standard metal coupon exposure and adjusted so that it falls within the prescribed interval as described in most of

the newer standards. However, it is also important to take into account that the correlation between test results and

in-service corrosion performance is generally much poorer when a simple highly accelerated test is used than when

a more advanced accelerated corrosion test is utilized for the same purpose.

7 Recommended procedures for product qualification

Initial risk analysis is an important step in the planning of a product qualification testing scheme. It entails

collecting information on performance and durability of the product or functional unit of the product and its

materials. This knowledge base is analysed with respect to the intended application to identify critical functional

properties, environmental conditions and associated risks for failure; see e.g. [25]. The initial risk analysis

comprises the following steps of evaluation: (a) Functional and service life requirements on product and functional

units, (b) Potential failure modes and associated material degradation mechanisms, (c) Crit ical factors of

environmental stress and degradation factors, and (c) Risk analysis. If it is not possible at this stage to conclude

whether the product or functional unit of the product should be qualified or disqualified, qualification testing is

performed. From a practical point of view, but also from an economic viewpoint, an assessment of durability or

service life by way of testing has to be limited in its scope and focused on the most critical failure and damage

modes. For qualification testing of products or functional units with respect to corrosion resistance the following

general procedure is then recommended:

1) Make use of the results of an initial risk analysis to identify a critical failure mode and associated corrosion

process that needs to be evaluated by way of accelerated corrosion testing.

2) Select appropriate accelerated corrosion test from kind of data presented in subchapters 4,5,6 of this paper.

3) Select suitable attribute of the functional unit to be tested for use as degradation indicator. Based on the

performance requirement from the initial risk analysis evaluate the lowest tolerable level of this degradation

indicator to define failure of the functional unit.

4) Specify in-service corrosivity and design lifetime corrosion load for the functional unit to be tested. The

exposure of metal coupons and determination of the rate of corrosion of those is the preferred method for

determining severity classes or classes of atmospheric corrosivity in specific in-service environments.

5) Estimate acceptable failure time in the accelerated test from the design lifetime corrosion load for the functional

unit. Adopt the principle of equivalent corrosion load as described in subchapeter 5.

6) Perform the test and conclude whether the tested functional unit has a failure time higher than the acceptable.

Analyse test specimens also with respect to expected degradation mechanism.

7) From the results obtained conclude whether the functional unit shall be considered qualified or not in respect of

its corrosion resistance.

Corrosion in steel pipelines is a common problem that happens due to environmental conditions over time which, if left unchecked, can lead to catastrophic failures of the system. This study involves a multi-scale assessment of corroded pipe sections with diverse characterization modalities at multiple length scales using techniques such as motion magnification with high-speed video, X-ray diffraction, and nanoindentation to bridge the gap between shifts in vibration behavior, and changes in the steel chemical structure, nano-structure, and material properties. Here, vibration monitoring technique coupled with chemical characterization is used to detect and assess the extent of corrosion damage in pipelines.

This chapter provides an overview of the essential concepts about the performance and durability assessment of solar thermal components and materials and to describe the specific systems that are featured in this volume. The essential roles of durability assessment, accelerated life testing, and service lifetime predictions are discussed first. The chapter then presents the need for solar products to meet three important criteria—that is, minimum cost, adequate performance, and demonstrable durability—for achieving successful and sustainable commercialization. Descriptions are given of protective transparent covers, for example, glass and polymer covers, and several types of multilayer designs of metalized polymers for solar reflector applications. A flat-plate collector, how a selective absorber functions, and typical multilayer solar absorber coatings are then described. The specific solar thermal components and materials described have been studied for more than ten years, and representative results of these studies are presented in this volume, especially to illustrate the essential concepts.
