TEMAK Delivers Composite Salt Spray Test Chamber to Tesla: Simulating Decades of Corrosion in the Lab

The Unseen Challenge: Protecting EVs from Extreme Environmental Corrosion

For electric vehicles traversing the globe, the challenges extend beyond range and performance. They must withstand the relentless, often invisible, assault of extreme environments.

From the de-icing salts of frigid winters to the salt-laden coastal air, critical components—especially battery packs, metal structural parts, and electronic control systems—face constant corrosive threats.

How can automakers simulate a vehicle's decade-long corrosion and aging process within a laboratory, long before mass production begins? This capability has become a cornerstone of quality assurance for all leading automotive manufacturers.

Recently, TEMAK, leveraging its proven technical expertise and reliable product performance, successfully delivered a large Walk-In Composite Salt Spray Test Chamber to Tesla, the global leader in electric vehicles.This advanced chamber will be used for accelerated corrosion testing of Tesla's critical components, providing vital data to ensure product durability and safety. 

So, what makes this equipment capable of meeting such demanding requirements?

1. Beyond Salt Spray: True Composite Testing for Real-World Rigor

   
   

   Real-world climates involve complex, alternating factors. TEMAK's Walk-In Composite Salt Spray Test Chamber is engineered to replicate these harsh conditions with high fidelity.

   
   

   Multiple Corrosion Modes: Conducts Neutral Salt Spray (NSS), Acidic Salt Spray (ASS), and the even more severe Copper-Accelerated Acetic Acid Salt Spray (CASS) tests, covering a wide range from basic to accelerated corrosion assessments.

   
   

   Complete Cycle Testing Function: Performs stringent automatic cycle tests, such as "Salt Spray → Dry-Off → Humidity," simulating varied environmental stress.

   
   

   Rapid, Precise Transitions: Features swift and accurate environmental transitions, e.g., Salt Spray → Dry-Off (≤30 min), Dry-Off → Humidity (≤45 min), Humidity → Salt Spray (≤30 min).

   
   

   International Standard Compliance: Strictly adheres to testing procedures outlined in major international and national standards, including GB/T, ISO, and ASTM.

   
   

2.  Engineered for Large, High-Load Components

   
   

   EV components like battery packs and large stampings are often bulky and heavy. TEMAK's 15m³ walk-in chamber provides the ideal solution for testing these sizable parts.

   Exceptional Load Capacity: Withstands uniform loads exceeding 600kg/m², easily accommodating heavy-duty components.

   
   

   Ample Testing Space: A generous 15m³ internal volume, complemented by two types of corrosion-resistant fiberglass sample racks, allows for flexible and efficient sample placement.

   
   

   Superior Spray System: Features adjustable spray volume and pressure. An oversized brine tank enables continuous spraying for over 60 hours without refilling. Multiple spray towers on both sides ensure exceptional fog uniformity throughout the chamber.

The successful collaboration with Tesla stands as a powerful testament to TEMAK's technical strength and product reliability. We understand that on the path to superior quality, a dependable environmental testing chamber is your most trusted partner.

TEMAK is committed to providing reliable environmental test solutions for the global high-end manufacturing industry.
