CORROSION TESTING OF METALLIC COATINGS RATIONALISED--ONE INTERNATIONALLY-ACCEPTED SET OF TESTS ENDORSED

A standard for methods of corrosion-testing of metallic coatings (e.g., electroplating, zinc plating, anodic oxidation coatings, etc.) has been approved by ISO, adopted by BSI, and published (in July 1977) as BS 5466 with the title: Methods for Corrosion Testing of Metallic Coatings BS 5466 has, at present, the following parts: Part 1 (ISO 3768) covering a neutral salt-spray test, Part 2 (ISO 3769) an acetic acid salt-spray test, and Part 3 (ISO 3770) a copper accelerated acetic acid salt-spray test. A further three parts, now at the "draft for public comment" stage, will cover the saline droplets test, the thioacetamide test, and the Corrodkote test; other test methods, still under discussion by ISO, are the sulphur dixoide tests and outdoor corrosion tests in natural environments. The Author describes the background to the development of this standard, and mentions the advantages of test methods having their own standards instead of being detailed (as in the past) in all the standards for the various products concerned. Order from: BSRA as No. 47,007.
