Existing corrosion resistance test methods for coated metal materials face challenges due to electrolyte solution volatilization and gas generation, leading to reduced test reliability and potential leakage or container breakage.
Innovation Solution
A corrosion resistance test method using a tubular container with a lid to prevent volatile component release and a through hole for degassing, combined with a temperature detector and a magnet for adherence, to maintain internal pressure and ensure accurate temperature control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the container is completely sealed to prevent electrolyte solution volatilization, then the reliability of the test is improved, but the internal pressure increases due to gas generation, leading to leakage or container breakage
Solution Approach 1:
The lid is designed with a through hole at a specific location to allow gas escape while maintaining sealing at other areas. This local modification enables selective functionality: the majority of the lid surface remains sealed to prevent electrolyte volatilization, while the through hole provides a controlled pathway for gas release, resolving the contradiction between complete sealing and pressure management
Solution Approach 2:
The through hole in the lid converts the harmful effect of gas generation (which causes pressure buildup) into a beneficial function by providing a controlled escape route for gases. Instead of viewing gas generation as purely problematic, the design utilizes it to maintain pressure balance while the surrounding sealed structure prevents electrolyte loss, thus transforming a potential failure mode into a functional feature
2Loss of substance

AI summary
An electrode portion device is for use in a corrosion resistance test for a coated metal material that includes a metal base and a surface treatment film on the metal base material. The electrode portion device includes: a container body that is tubular and disposed on the surface treatment film, and configured to hold a water-containing material that is in contact with the surface treatment film inside; a lid for closing an upper opening of the container body; a through hole provided in an upper side wall of the container body; and an electrode in contact with the water-containing material contained inside the container body.
