Ceramic Coatings Corrosion Test

astmb-117-salt-spray-test1

Please review the ASTM B-117 Corrossion Test that demonstrates performance capabilities of ceramic coatings.  The test shows samples of test pieces exposed to a salt spray that demonstrates its 5000 hour capabilities.  Most powder coatings that provide little or no thermal management capability only last 200 hours in this test.  Other coatings, such as black oxide or nitiride coatings don’t provide this much protection for this long.  The catch?  Finding a ceramic coatings applicator that can apply and finish the coatings properly.  For a facility near you, please contact the Ceramic Coatings Institute.
