FORD CETP 00.00-L-467 Automotive Corrosion Test Methodology

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of FORD CETP 00.00-L-467 standard. This engineering specification FORD CETP 00.00-L-467 is designed to provide guidance for performing Mass Loss testing when performing the Ford CETP00.00-L-467 test profile in an Atmosphere Specification chamber.

FORD CETP 00.00-L-467 Automotive Corrosion Test Methodology

The test consists of a 5-day test profile divided into a 2-day repeat cycle on weekdays followed by a 7-day weekend phase. The 5-day repeat cycle consists of the following steps:

  • 6 hours wet phase at room temperature,
  • A 2,5 hour transitional phase with drying under climate control.

this is done in two parts, the first is a 25 minute ramp to increase the temperature from 40°C to 30°C and maintain high humidity at 95% RH. The second part requires a 4-hour transition while raising the temperature from 50°C to 95°C while simultaneously reducing the humidity from 70% RH to 2% RH. These setpoints are the target conditions at the end of each stage.

The room should be run through at least one of the daily 24-hour cycles to ensure that the temperature and humidity profiles are within specification. The scatter test using the oscillating spray wand is performed in the 6 hour wet phase, i.e. within 19 minutes, between 39.25 and 98 ml/80 cm² of the total programmed salt spray time, with collection cups located at lower sample height and collection rates.

Unless otherwise agreed, samples should be placed at 15 degrees from vertical. Samples should be placed in such a way that no sample overshadows the other, allowing free air flow over the samples without any obstruction.

All equipment to be used must be calibrated before any preliminary testing begins. Oscillating spray spray test to be performed, 19 x 39,25 minute tests with target fallout collection rates of 98 to 5 ml per 19 minute tests, 8 measuring funnels to be used, 2 per quadrant. These results need to be logged.

This unique cyclic exposure test consists of alternating cycles of electrolyte (salt) exposure, a drying phase, and a moisture exposure phase. This test specification requires an oscillating spray wand to apply the electrolyte solution evenly during that portion of the cycle.

The purpose of this test is to allow the corrosion resistance of metals to be evaluated in environments where sodium chloride has a significant effect, such as in winter defrost roads. Controlled tests that can be performed worldwide to qualify Ford components. All that is required is a suitable test chamber that can meet the requirements of each test standard.
