Salt Spray Corrosion Testing Services for Aerospace & Oil & Gas
Accelerated Corrosion Performance—Accredited, Defensible, and Delivered Fast
Salt Spray (Neutral Salt Fog) exposure provide rapid, comparative evidence of coating and material durability under controlled conditions. AADFW executes to accredited methods with tight process control and faster turnaround than slow, global labs, so engineers get clear, audit-ready results on schedule.

Why Salt Spray Corrosion Testing Matters
In flight-critical and high-pressure environments, corrosion undermines strength, fatigue life, and sealing performance—especially at welds, fasteners, and interfaces. Salt Spray regimes (e.g., ASTM B117, ISO 9227) screen coatings, platings, and base materials for conformity and process stability, helping QC teams prevent field failures, validate suppliers, and release lots with confidence.
AADFW’s Approach: Precision, Speed, and Proof
- Accredited & precise: Controlled chambers, calibrated instrumentation, and documented uncertainty within an ISO/IEC 17025 quality system produce defensible, repeatable data.
- Faster results: Streamlined scheduling, right-sized reports, and proactive status updates compress lead times without compromising rigor.
- Trusted by industry: Aerospace and oil & gas engineers rely on AADFW for clear acceptance criteria, photographic evidence, and traceability that stands up to audits and MRB review.
Salt Spray Corrosion Testing Capabilities
- Neutral Salt Fog (ASTM B117 / ISO 9227 NSS): 5% NaCl at 35 °C with pH control, continuous exposure from 24 to 2,000+ hours.
- Specimen types & fixturing: Panels, fasteners, welded coupons, assemblies; angle and spacing per method with non-reactive fixtures.
- Coating and finish evaluations: Zinc, Cadmium, Nickel, Aluminum, conversion coatings (e.g., chromate), anodize, paints and primers, overlays, and plated fasteners.
- In-test monitoring: Solution specific gravity/conductivity, pH, fallout rate verification, and chamber uniformity checks.
- Inspection & rating: Scheduled interval inspections with macro photos; rust and blister ratings.
- Post-exposure analysis (as needed): Cross-sections, coating thickness, SEM/EDS of corrosion products, metallography, and failure analysis for root cause.
- Documentation: Lot traceability, chamber logs, calibration certificates, and acceptance criteria clearly tied to your drawing/spec.
