ASTM B117
What Is ASTM B117?
ASTM B117 is an internationally recognized salt spray (salt fog) corrosion test standard. This test is applied to evaluate the corrosion resistance of metal surfaces, coatings, paints, and alloys. First developed in 1939 and still one of the most widely used accelerated corrosion test methods today, ASTM B117 helps predict the long-term durability of products when exposed to corrosive environments.
Objectives of the ASTM B117 Test
- To measure corrosion resistance
- To evaluate the performance of coatings, paints, and surface treatments
- To verify product quality control processes
- To demonstrate compliance with national and international standards
Industries Where ASTM B117 Is Applied
The ASTM B117 salt spray test is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, defense industry, marine, construction, home appliances, electronics, and metal surface treatment sectors.
Through this testing, manufacturers can validate the reliability of their products under harsh environmental conditions.
