Intergranular attack (IG) and exfoliation corrosion (EC) have a detrimental impact on 2800 HAIRDRYER the structural integrity of aircraft structures of all types.Understanding the mechanisms and methods for dealing with these processes and with corrosion in general has been and is critical to the safety of critical components of aircraft.Discussion of cases where IG attack and exfoliation caused issues in structural integrity in aircraft in operational fleets is presented herein along with a much more detailed presentation of the issues involved in dealing with corrosion of aircraft.
Issues of corrosion and fatigue related to the structural integrity of aging aircraft are introduced herein.Mechanisms of pitting nucleation are discussed which include adsorption-induced, ion migration-penetration, and chemicomechanical film breakdown theories.In addition, pitting corrosion (PC) fatigue models are presented as well as a critical assessment of their application to aircraft structures and materials.
Finally fiesta® Floral Bouquet environmental effects on short crack behavior of materials are discussed, and a compilation of definitions related to corrosion and fatigue are presented.
