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. Part 1 Corrosion fundamentals and cost of corrosion: Assessing the cost of corrosion to the aerospace industry; Corrosion and the threat to aircraft structural integrity; Effect of corrosion on the mechanical behaviour of aircraft aluminum alloys. Part 2 Corrosion monitoring, evaluation and prediction: Nondestructive evaluation of corrosion in the aerospace industry; Corrosion prediction in the aerospace industry; Integrated health and corrosion monitoring systems in the aerospace industry; Corrosion and fatigue modelling of aircraft structures. Part 3 Corrosion protection and prevention: Corrosion control in space launch vehicles; Coating removal techniques in the aerospace industry; Novel corrosion schemes for the aerospace industry; Greases and their role in corrosion control in the aerospace industry; Business strategies for corrosion control in fleet maintenance.
