Synopsis

Corrosion control in the aerospace industry is an issue that has always been important, but is becoming more so with the ageing of the aircraft fleet. Corrosion can lead to non-availability of aircraft and in extreme cases catastrophic failure. As aircraft age, they are subjected to corrosive environments over longer periods, far beyond initial design considerations. The first part of this important book reviews ageing aircraft and the cost of corrosion. A second group of chapters discusses corrosion fundamentals and part three examines corrosion monitoring, evaluation and prediction. A final section analyses methods of corrosion protection and prevention.

Key Features: discusses the fundamentals of corrosion and the cost of corrosion to the aerospace industry; examines the threat corrosion poses to aircraft structural integrity and the effect of corrosion on the mechanical behaviour of aircraft; reviews methods for corrosion monitoring, evaluation and prediction examining both current practices and future trends; assesses corrosion protection and prevention with specific chapters on coating removal techniques and the role of greases in corrosion control.

Contents: Corrosion in the aerospace industry.
