Cyclic Corrosion Test
Cyclic Corrosion Testing, or CCT, has become a common practice in the automotive industry. Designed to accelerate corrosion in a laboratory environment, CCT tests how materials used in the auto sector will react to the weather, stimuli, and conditions encountered on the road. This, in turn, allows manufacturers to prepare their materials accordingly, contributing to the longevity and durability of modern automobiles.
Depending on the type of exposure manufacturers want to test, CCT is conducted in a few different ways. In some cases, the material is submerged in water or corrosive materials.
Today, customers want to purchase long-lasting vehicles, and CCT is one of the primary technologies that allow manufacturers to test their vehicles’ components before releasing them for sale.
