Although theoretical studies afford valuable information, simple practical tests are of marked assistance in predicting the resistance of materials to specific corrosive conditions. One of the oldest of these is the salt-spray. The authors believe much of its unpopularity results from uncontrolled variables and the lack of standardized procedures and they present data to show that the test is both useful and reliable when properly administered. The factors which they believe should be controlled are briefly discussed and “standard” conditions for each factor are suggested. However, the paper has been written to stimulate discussion of the test and promote more universal agreement on the testing methods used and is not intended as a “standard practice.”
NO explanation of the following numerical results is required, beyond stating that the losses referred to represent total losses, that is to say, losses due to both volatilization and mechanical causes.The furnaces employed were "Battersea No. F," and the conditions under which the assays were made, such as heat of muffle, draught in muffle, and manipulations in general, were such as would obtain in careful practical work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
