Abstract
Although preservative treatments prolong the life of wood, they can also accelerate the corrosion of fasteners. This is an issued that needs to be tudied because corrosion of building materials and fasteners can negatively affect system performance. In this study, thes test methods of 20 publications and one standard that examine the corrosion of metals in contact with wood are summarized and reviewed so that a comparison of their effectiveness can be made. While the focus os in the test methods, some qualitative mresults from these different methods are discussed to show nuances of the test method. Also, this literature review is intended ot focus future research towards the use of the most promising test methos and eliminate overlap in research efforts.
