ADHESION TEST METHOD COMPARISON FOR EXTERIOR DECORATIVE AEROSPACE COATINGS: TWO CASE STUDIES

摘要

Preliminary testing, as demonstrated by two case studies, shows that the SIJA is a promising candidate to replace the whirling arm rain erosion adhesion test. Future testing will focus on determining optimum SIJA control parameters (e.g. velocity, angle of impact), establishing pass/fail criteria, and automating the SIJA to improve consistency.
