The VW 96380 corrosion test, also known as the Modified Environmental Cycle Test (MECT), is a standardized test method used by Volkswagen (VW) to evaluate the corrosion resistance of automotive materials and coatings.
The test involves subjecting test samples to a series of environmental cycles designed to simulate real-world exposure to a variety of corrosive substances, including salt, humidity, and temperature changes. The test typically takes 4 to 6 weeks.
During testing, samples are mounted on a rotating drum and exposed to alternating cycles of salt spray and drying, followed by cycles of moist air and drying, and finally cycles of wet/dry and high temperature conditions. Test conditions are carefully controlled and monitored to ensure consistency and repeatability.
After testing is complete, samples are evaluated for signs of corrosion, including visual inspection, weight loss measurements, and analysis of corrosion products that may have formed. The results of the test are used to evaluate the effectiveness of different coatings and materials in protecting against corrosion in real-world automotive applications.
The VW 96380 corrosion test is widely used in the automotive industry and is recognized as a reliable method for assessing the corrosion resistance of materials and coatings.
