Filiform corrosion testing according to DIN EN ISO 4623-1 / DIN EN ISO 4623-2 / DIN EN 3665 / QUALICOAT. This test evaluates the protective effect of coatings on metal substrates against filiform corrosion. For this purpose, the coating of a test specimen is scribed to the substrate.
Filiform Corrosion is Commonly Discovered On:
Aluminum
Steel
Aircraft Structures
Beverage Cans
Gaskets
Flanges
Weld Zones with Organic Coatings
Architectural and Automotive Applications
Corrosion can cause large financial losses among the various sectors it affects. In fact, a report released by NACE International estimated that corrosion impacts the United States economy by more than 250 billion dollars. The sectors significantly affected by corrosion include utilities, infrastructure, transportation, and manufacturing.
