I need to accelerate corrosion in steel parts that are used in a salt-water environment. Is there a technique for doing so?

I have a structure that employs d-ring swiveling tie-downs that corrode during use and become "frozen". I have sample swivel assemblies that I wish to corrode to see if I can free them using one...
