Aerospace series - Test method for dry film lubricants - Salt spray test
General Information
Overview
SIST EN 3027:2001 is a CEN aerospace series standard that specifies a test method to verify that dry film lubricants ensure the required corrosion protection after exposure to salt spray. The scope focuses on demonstrating that protective dry films maintain corrosion resistance under salt spray conditions representative of corrosive environments encountered in aerospace applications.
This standard is intended for manufacturers, quality engineers, procurement teams, and maintenance organizations that require objective test evidence of lubricant performance on aerospace components.
Key Topics
- Purpose: Verify corrosion protection performance of dry film lubricants following salt spray exposure.
- Scope statement: Confirms that treated parts meet required corrosion protection after a specified salt spray regime (as defined in the standard).
- Test role: Provides a reproducible method to assess how dry film lubricants protect metal substrates from salt-induced corrosion.
- Audience: Aerospace component manufacturers, qualification laboratories, supply chain quality teams, and maintenance/repair organizations.
Keywords: SIST EN 3027:2001, dry film lubricants, salt spray test, corrosion protection, aerospace QC.
Applications
- Quality control and batch acceptance testing of coated parts and assemblies to ensure consistent corrosion protection.
- Supplier qualification and incoming inspection: use the method to verify that supplied components meet the required protective performance.
- Maintenance and overhaul decision support: evaluate whether reapplication or alternative coatings are needed after service exposure.
- Design validation: support material and coating selection during development of aerospace components that require dry film lubrication.
Practical benefits include improved confidence in coating performance, documented evidence for procurement and certification, and a repeatable laboratory method to compare products or processes.
Related Standards
- Other CEN EN aerospace standards covering materials, coatings, and test methods for corrosion and lubrication may be used alongside SIST EN 3027:2001 to form a complete qualification package.
- International corrosion test guidance and industry best practices for salt spray testing provide contextual support for interpreting results and establishing acceptance criteria.
