US Webinar - JASO M 609:2024 Corrosion Test Methods for Automotive Parts and Materials

JASO M609 has been one of the most popular protocols for accelerated corrosion testing of automotive components since its initial publication in 1991. This standard features humid, dry, and salt fog phases, representing an early entry into the field of modern corrosion test standards. JASO M 609 also specifies fast transitions in an effort to minimize variability, making it one of the most technically demanding tests available. Q-FOG testers equipped with Rapid Ramp Heaters are able to meet the rigorous, fast transition times specified in this test.

However, the test often fails to accurately predict corrosion behavior experienced in the field. In an effort to improve the test's realism, a major revision to JASO M 609 was completed in 2024. During this hour-long session, our technical experts will review: 

• Application of salt solution by fog, spray, or immersion
• Inclusion of six different test cycles with added complexity
• Guidance for testing for different corrosion types - cosmetic and perforation
• Addition of controlled linear transitions between test phases
• Research demonstrating the validity of this updated test
