Advanced Materials Research LaboratoryCorrosion and Tribology

Salt spray chamber

  • Accelerated corrosion testing under controlled salt spray environments
  • Neutral Salt Spray (NSS) testing in accordance with ASTM B117 and ISO 9227
  • Precise control of chamber temperature, salt solution concentration, spray rate, and exposure duration
  • Assessment of corrosion resistance, coating integrity, and surface degradation
  • Suitable for comparative performance evaluation of coatings, surface treatments, and base materials
  • Capable of long-duration exposure testing for durability and lifetime studies

Multiplex Sand/Wheel Abrasion Tester

  • Quantitative abrasive wear testing using sand-rubber wheel and wheel abrasion configurations
  • Testing conducted in accordance with ASTM G65 and related wear standards
  • Controlled application of normal load, wheel speed, and abrasive feed rate for repeatable testing
  • Measurement of mass loss, wear rate, and relative abrasion resistance
  • Suitable for bulk materials, coatings, and surface-engineered systems
  • Enables comparative assessment of material performance under simulated service conditions
