ACCELERATED LIFE TESTING DEVICE AND METHOD
First Claim
1. An accelerated life testing method for a test piece within a test chamber, the method comprising:
- establishing a first atmosphere within the test chamber;
changing the first atmosphere to a second atmosphere to form a deposition layer on the test piece;
changing the second atmosphere to the first atmosphere to remove the deposition layer from the test piece; and
repeating the changing the first atmosphere to the second atmosphere and the changing the second atmosphere to the first atmosphere to form an oxidation layer on the test piece.

12. An accelerated life testing device for use on a test piece, the device comprising:
-
a test chamber for containing the test piece; and an atmospheric controller operably connected to the test chamber, the atmospheric controller being operable to control temperature and humidity within the test chamber; wherein the atmospheric controller is operable to form an oxidation layer on the test piece by; establishing a first atmosphere within the test chamber; changing the first atmosphere to a second atmosphere to form a deposition layer on the test piece; changing the second atmosphere to the first atmosphere to remove the deposition layer from the test piece; and repeating the changing the first atmosphere to the second atmosphere and the changing the second atmosphere to the first atmosphere to form the oxidation layer on the test piece. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
