I have been tasked with investigating the "time to corrosion" of a new product which is currently in development. This unit will be enclosed by a sheetmetal cabinet and will be located outdoors. Previous units have been made of powdercoated cold-rolled steel but we have seen corrosion problems in installations in coastal areas.
Does anyone know of any references which correlate salt-spray testing (or other corrosion testing) with the "time to corrosion"? In other words, test "A" equals "B" years of service using material "C" with finishing "D"? I need to provide some documentation which supports that the combination of material and finish which is selected will last for the life of the product (15-20 years).
