The test allows to evaluate the resistance to the corrosion of the surface-treated wheel subjected to extreme conditions in order to simulate the effects occurring during its operating life.
The salt spray chamber, by acting on pressure and temperature, creates a highly corrosive environment saturated by a saline solution.
The effects of the oxidation under the protective layer is evaluated at the end of the test.
