sae j2334 international surface vehicle standard--
cosmetic corrosion lab test
foreword-this cosmetic corrosion lab test procedure is based on field correlated lab test procedure parameters as committee(sae/acap) and the auto/steel partnershio(a/sp) corrosion task force. results from this test will provide excellent correlation to severe corrosive field environments with respect to cosmetic corrosion performance. for historical information on the development of this test, refer to 2.1.4.
1. scope-the sae j2334 lab test procedure should be used when determining cosmetic corrosion performance for a particular coating system, substrate,process, or design. since it is a field correlated test, it can be used as a validation tool as well as a development tool. if corrosion mechanisms other than cosmetic or general corrosion are to be examined using this test, field correlation must be established.
