Abstract
Static atmospheric corrosion tests on plated plastics have shown that the worst cases of failure in laboratory thermal cycling tests indicate likely failure on exposure outdoors. The appearance of corroded samples of plastics plated with conventional chromium systems has been shown to be acceptable for longer periods than for similarly plated metals and was not dependent on nickel thickness. A correlation has been established between the results of CASS and atmospheric exposure tests.Keywords
