ASTM G46

ASTM G46 is a standard guideline used to evaluate how well various materials resist corrosion when exposed to specific environments, particularly those involving cyclic or repetitive conditions like wetting and drying. It sets procedures for preparing samples, controlling environmental factors, and measuring corrosion over time. This helps engineers and researchers predict how materials such as metals or coatings will perform in real-world conditions, ensuring durability and safety in applications like pipelines, structures, or marine equipment. Essentially, ASTM G46 provides a consistent way to assess and compare material corrosion behaviors under controlled test conditions.
