Overview: Cerakote in Corrosion Testing
The corrosion test according to ASTM B117 impressively demonstrates how resistant Cerakote is under aggressive salt spray conditions. The results show why the ceramic coating is convincing in terms of protective performance: it combines a thin layer structure with high resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure. For applications with high demands on durability and reliability, the test provides important practical evidence.
This is how the ASTM-B117 test works
In the salt spray test, coated components are exposed to a highly corrosive environment under controlled conditions. The aim is to compare the relative corrosion resistance of different surfaces. This method is precisely what makes the ASTM B117 test so meaningful, as it reveals weaknesses and practically verifies the performance of coatings. Cerakote can demonstrate how stable the surface remains under continuous stress.
What the test results show about Cerakote
Compared to many other coatings, the tested Cerakote surfaces last particularly long and show signs of corrosion very late. According to published test results, Cerakote significantly outperformed several competing systems and offered exceptionally high resistance in salt spray. This makes the coating particularly interesting for users who require long-term protection with a thin layer.

Conclusion: What the test shows about the protective performance
The ASTM B117 test confirms Cerakote as a high-performance solution for demanding environments where corrosion protection is crucial. The coating combines high protection with a thin layer thickness, thus remaining functional, precise, and durable. For those who rely on dependable performance under aggressive conditions, Cerakote offers a compelling solution with clear advantages.
