The salt spray test is an essential technique for evaluating the corrosion resistance of materials and coatings, and it is carried out in line with standards such as those established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) (American Society for Testing and Materials). When conducting a salt spray test in accordance with the requirements of the IEC and ASTM , there are various critical considerations that must be made, including the following: Test Circumstances The test conditions, which include temperature, relative humidity, and salt content, need to be regulated and kept within certain limitations, as outlined in the applicable standards. These limits may be found in the relevant standards. In addition, the calibration of the testing chamber need to be performed on a regular basis. Preparing the Specimens For the test, the specimens that are going to be examined should first be cleaned and conditioned in a
