Accelerated humidity test for powder coated magnesium

1996

I NEED INFO ON THE ACCELERATED LIFE TEST TO STUDY GALVANIC CORROSION.

TRADITIONAL "SALT FOG" IS ONE OF THE TESTS. UNFORTUNATELY I CAN NOT USE IT. CAN I FILL THE HUMIDITY TEST CHAMBER (85 °C AT 85% RH) WITH CO2 TO ACCELERATE THE TEST.

OTHER METHODS?

I WILL BE TESTING Mg ALLOY (WITH POWDER COATING) AND COPPER SUBSTRATES. THE PURPOSE IS TO COMPARE THE QUALITY OF THE PROTECTIVE COATINGS.

CAN YOU HELP ME?

THANKS.
