ASTM G1

ASTM G1 is a standard guideline that details how to prepare and evaluate metal surfaces for testing corrosion. It specifically provides procedures for cleaning and pre-treating samples, such as metals, to ensure accurate and consistent results when assessing how they react to environments that cause rust or degradation. This helps engineers and scientists evaluate the durability of materials, develop protective coatings, and ensure quality in manufacturing. Essentially, ASTM G1 ensures that corrosion tests are performed uniformly, leading to reliable data on a material’s resistance to corrosion under specific conditions.
