Abstract:
      In order to ensure that the wheeled tactical vehicle of US Marine Corps (USMC) can achieve the 20 years of service life, the Naval Materials Science and Technology Department has funded the Naval Surface Operations Center, Aberdeen Testing Center and other departments to develop a vehicle corrosion/durability driving test method for assessing the wheeled vehicle system. The method in response to the special requirements of the US Marine Corps in military vehicle corrosion and mission profile improved the vehicle test results based on commercial standards, established the annual cumulative corrosion loss control target of 1~20 years based on the basic data of the whole life cycle cost reduction project, stipulated the 0~4 corrosion grade standard for evaluating vehicle aging, and conducted the verification test up to 15 years. The study shows that the vehicle corrosion control target can be achieved by the developed durability driving test method; the corrosion status of the vehicle is equivalent to that of the vehicle in the actual use area; the vehicle corrosion/durability driving test method can be used as a favorable tool for vehicle acquisition to prove whether the service life of vehicle can reach the service index of 20 years.
