In the evaluation of coated metal edge protection, the use of neutral salt spray testing can demonstrate the variation in edge protection between coating technologies.
Many coated parts have severe specifications for creep from scribe in the center of parts/panels, but allow for edges to be taped or edge corrosion to be
Ignored. We recommend that customer evaluate the failure mode of their current production and determine whether edge corrosion is an issue that
Needs to be addressed with their current coating material. This may allow them to consider Autophoretic Coatings as a higher quality coating process.
