ISO 8993:2010

Anodizing of aluminium and its alloys — Rating system for the evaluation of pitting corrosion — Chart method ISO 8993:2010

Publication date:   Jul 22, 2010

Scope

ISO 8993:2010 specifies a chart rating system based on standard charts that provides a means of defining levels of performance of anodic oxidation coatings on aluminium and its alloys that have been subjected to corrosion tests.
This rating system is applicable to pitting corrosion resulting from

accelerated tests,
exposure to corrosive environments, and
practical service tests.

ISO 8993:2010 takes into account only pitting corrosion resulting from penetration of the protective anodic oxidation coating.
