with regard to the corrosion tests of materials by simulating different environmental conditions (with daily cyclic repetition) to carry out aging tests (in the energy sector, automotive, etc.), at present a modern tool is the climatic cell.
The controlled stresses that the cell is able to provide are: -Rain -Heating (from -35 to +90 ° C) -Solar radiation -Salt spray -Power supply of the test sample in medium voltage -Refrigeration -Humidity
The samples are mounted on a system that allows them to rotate around their own axis in order to guarantee uniform stress. The reference standard is CEI EN 62217 -1 of 2006-07 Annex B.
It seem to me that you looking for investigating the effects of cold and hot work degree on steels in terms of corrosion properties and you need to point out a common corrosive environments for the corrosion test.
Now if it is so, please go through the very interesting and helpful paper to start with at the following RG link
