Recently, countries from around the globe have been actively developing a new solar power system, namely, the floating photovoltaic (FPV) system. FPV is advantageous in terms of efficiency and cost effectiveness; however, environmental conditions on the surface of water are harsher than on the ground, and the regulations and standards for the long-term durability of supporting devices are insufficient. As a result, this study aims to investigate the durability of supporting devices through a novel type of accelerated corrosion test, copper-accelerated acetic acid salt spray (CASS). After an eight-day CASS test, the results demonstrated that only a small area of white protective layer on the SUPERDYMA shape steel was fully corroded and rusted. Moreover, five types of screw, fastened solidly on the SUPERDYMA shape steel, namely a galvanized steel screw capped with a type 316 stainless steel (SS) nut, a type 304 SS screw, a type 410 SS screw, a chromate-passivated galvanized steel screw, and a XP zinc–tin alloy coated steel screw, achieved varying degrees of rust. In general, the corrosion degree of the eight-day CASS test was more serious than that of the 136-day neutral salt spray (NSS) test. Therefore, the CASS test is faster and more efficient for the evaluation of the durability of supporting devices.

With the increasing effects of a corrosive environment on aluminum alloys, the corrosion of aluminum alloys has become a severe problem. In this paper, the accelerated corrosion test environment spectrum and corrosion equivalent relationship was systematically studied. The Accelerated Corrosion Test Environment Spectrum of aluminum alloys under a typical marine atmospheric environment was established. The Spectrum is composed of three parts, namely, a periodic infiltration test, a UV irradiation test, and a salt spray test. The Spectrum can well simulate aluminum alloy corrosion in a typical marine atmospheric environment.

Accelerated Corrosion Test

The effect of artificial aging on the corrosion resistance of 2024 Al alloy was investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and accelerated corrosion test. For comparison, the solution treatment followed by air-cooled and water-quenched samples were also researched. Accelerated corrosion test revealed that the corrosion resistance of the alloy strongly depended on artificial aging times, and the weight gain of the aged alloy increased first and then decreased with increasing the aging times, and a maximum value was found at peak aged condition. The air-cooled sample had the highest weight gain while the water-quenched one had the lowest weight gain among all the samples. The corrosion morphologies showed that pitting and localized intergranular corrosion were the main corrosion forms for the air-cooled and aged 2024 Al alloys. However, only pitting corrosion took place on the water-quenched samples. The pitting and intergranular corrosion resulted from galvanic corrosion between secondary particles and matrix Al, and between grain boundary precipitates and matrix Al, respectively.

Surface Morphologies

The effects of deformation on corrosion behavior of galvanized steel were investigated. Accelerated corrosion test was conducted under the conditions of 30oC and 90% relative humidity with flowing 200ppm sulfur dioxide gas for five weeks. Surface morphologies and corrosion products were analyzed by SEM/EDS and XRD. The corrosion products were composed of hydrates of ZnSO4. And corrosion rates of each part, bottom, bended and wall, were increased with growing strain due to surface damage and enlargement of naked surface for corrosion.

Accelerated Corrosion Tests

Powder coatings are widely applied for corrosion protection of steel, aluminum, and hot dip galvanized steel in a variety of corrosive environments. Powder coatings are subjected to a number of strict laboratory tests to determine their mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and color stability. Among European quality certificates for powder coatings applied to galvanized steel, the most commonly recognized are GSB-ST and Qualisteelcoat certificates, which also refer to the EN 13438 standard. Certificates of quality for powder coatings are constantly updated according to the latest research results and experience of specialists operating in the field of corrosion protection. This paper presents an experimental evaluation of how the required length of selected accelerated corrosion tests can affect the final assessment of powder coatings. On the example of two powder painting systems: polyester as well as based on epoxy and polyester resins, the paper presents the influence of the time of accelerated corrosion tests: ISO 6270, ISO 9227 (Neutral Salt Spray and Acetic Acid Salt Spray), and ISO 3231 on the protective properties of the coatings. The results of damage assessment according to ISO 4628 have been correlated with the requirements of particular quality specifications. Additionally, based on FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) and EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) analyses, the influence of the applied corrosion tests on the degradation degree of the coatings studied has been presented. The paper aims to present a tests for those powder coating systems applied to facilities for which the main requirement is corrosion resistance rather than aesthetics.
