Modification of Federal Test Method Standard Number 791C Method 5331.1 'Corrosion Protection of Steel against Sulfurous Acid-Salt Spray by Solid Film Lubricants'
Abstract
A deficiency was uncovered in Federal Test Standard No. 791C Method 5331.1 'Corrosion Protection of Steel Against Sulfurous Acid-Salt Spray By Solid Film Lubricants'. It was determined that the potency of the sulfurous acid-salt spray rapidly diminished after the initial test cycle and thus was not consistent throughout the test procedure. A modification of this test procedure was established in order to insure consistent exposure of solid film lubricant- coated test panels. This involved the use of freshly prepared sulfurous acid- salt spray solution after test cycle and the redifinition of the test cycle as two hours salt spray exposure and twenty-two hours drying each period. Solid film lubricants conforming to MIL-L-8937 and MIL-L-23398 were evaluated using this new test procedure and found to meet the four cycle specification requirement with no evidence of visible corrosion, pitting or staining.
