Wire Corrosion Test

Test Methods

  • SAE J3200
  • ASTM Methos Under Development

Principle

Wire Corrosion Test: A wired test board assembly, that has two separate sections, an upper and a lower, is utilized as the core of this test. This assembly is placed into a lubricant heated to the test temperature, typically 130°C, with the lower winding circuit immersed in the test oil and the upper in vapor of the test cell. Once heated and stable, the wires are powered and the change in conductance is monitored for 72 hours or until failure of the wire occurs. The sample temperature and change in conductance of the circuit within both the liquid and vapor are recorded throughout the duration of the test. Conductance changes are converted to resistance values and are then used to determine the change in diameter of the test wire due to corrosion. Changes in the wire diameter are monitored as a rate of change. This change is directly proportional to the amount of corrosion occurring to the surface of the wire.
