Table 5
Important parameters evaluated from the coated samples of TiZrN/TaZrN tested in salt spray ASTM B-117 (ISO 9227:2017 (CASS TEST)).
| pH | Samples | Temp. of solution | Concentration |
| 3.13 to 3.18 | TiZrN (200°C and 400°C) | 35.3°C ± 2°C | Sodium chloride (5.2% of NaCl + 0.26 g of CuCl2.2H2O + acetic acid to maintain pH) – 52–53 g/l | TaZrN (200°C and 400°C) | Pr. of compressed air 15 psi, collection of sol. Per hr 1.3–1.5 ml | 6.7 to 7 | TiZrN (200°C and 400°C) | 49.5°C ± 2°C | TaZrN (200°C and 400°C) |
