What Does CASS Stand For?
CASS stands for Copper Accelerated Acetic Acid Salt Spray. It is an accelerated corrosion testing method that adds copper chloride and acetic acid to the standard salt spray solution, creating a more aggressive test environment.
| Method | Solution | Corrosion Rate | Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSS (Neutral Salt Spray) | 5% NaCl, pH 6.5-7.2 | Baseline | ASTM B117 |
| AASS (Acetic Acid Salt Spray) | NaCl + acetic acid, pH 3.1-3.3 | ~2x NSS | ASTM B117 Annex A1 |
| CASS (Copper-Accelerated AASS) | AASS + CuCl₂, pH 3.1-3.3 | ~4-8x NSS | ASTM B368 |
