Cyclic Corrosion Test (CCT)

For most artifical accelerated tests in laboratory, getting a consistent testing results with outdoor is the most important purpose. Prior to cyclic corrosion testing, conventional salt spray (a continuous salt spray at 35˚C), was the most popular way to simulate corrosion in a lab. Because conventional salt spray methods failed to simulate the natural wet/dry cycles of the outdoors, test results frequently provided poor correlation to outdoors.
