What is a Salt Spray Test?
The salt spray test is a standardized method used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of coatings and materials. By subjecting test samples to a controlled saltwater mist, this test mimics real-world conditions, such as exposure to salt, humidity, and air, allowing manufacturers to predict how well materials will withstand corrosion. It is extensively utilized across industries like automotive, construction, and telecommunications and plays a vital role in ensuring product durability.
