Italian term or phrase: nella prova di nebbia salina
Hello,

I'm translating a text on industrial coating products.

Il fosfosgrassaggio è un operazione di lavaggio e di conversione anticorrosiva delle lamiere e altri manufatti in acciaio prima di verniciatura, che presenta una modesta resistenza alla corrosione (*nella prova di nebbia salina all’intaglio della croce di Sant’Andrea*, 1 mm di corrosione si verifica quasi sempre dopo una media di 140-150 ore).

I need help with the phase in brackets.

Thanks a lot

salt fog test


Explanation:
There is a difference between the salt fog test and the salt spray test.

Thermodyne Engineering Ltd. perform a variety of salty environmental tests, such as:

Salt Fog Test: This test simulates a salty fog environment, which occurs at sea level.
Salt Spray Test: This is the case where salty water is sprayed over the equipment intermittently and dried under normal ambient conditions to expose the component to corrosive environment.
Immersion Test: Components are immersed in salty water intermittently or continuously to determine the effect of corrosion under seawater conditions.
