Abstract
A corrosion-resistance testing method for a coated metal member formed of a metallic substrate provided with a surface treatment coating includes an electrification step for applying a voltage and/or a current between a surface of the surface treatment coating and the metallic substrate in a state where a corrosion factor is in contact with the surface of the surface treatment coating so as to measure a temporal change in a current and/or a voltage occurring between the surface of the surface treatment coating and the metallic substrate, and an evaluation step for evaluating a defect occurrence status of the surface treatment coating based on a waveform of the temporal change.
