This site is embedded in the St. Peter industrial area of Linz with voestalpine Stahl Linz steel mill as leading company. It consists of two separate fields. Field 1 is committed to accelerated, high salinity experiments (e.g.” VDA 621-414 – like”) and individual adapted exposure methods. Field 2, separated several meters from Nr.1 to avoid any cross contamination, is dedicated to classical atmospheric exposure. Being completely fenced and locating within the secured limits of the steel mill all fields are well protected against unauthorized influences and persons. Due to the vicinity of railroad tracks there are typical particle depositions (brake dust) present.
