Corrosion Resistance of Electronic Parts
Abstract
One of the design objectives of military electronic equipments is to withstand the degradation of humid tropical exposures. Corrosion provides a significant contribution to the failure mechanisms that can occur. This study correlates various laboratory humidity and salt fog acceleration tests with actual field exposure studies of electronic parts in the Panamanian jungle and at marine shore sites. Significant corrosion failure mechanisms are described and correlation with the field is provided by comparing laboratory exposed parts with field results to determine field service life. Acceleration factors are then calculated. Results show good correlation between shore exposures and various salt-fog tests.
