This is a detailed 200-page manual on the nature and consequences of corrosion of the metal structures of aircraft. Corrosion is usually oxidation of lightweight, load-bearing metals. It destroys the structural strength of an aircraft. In order to be controlled, it must be prevented or repaired, but both alternatives are expensive. Therefore the technician must be able to thoroughly assess the corrosion threat. This book shows the basics of corrosion management. It features clear black & white and color photographs of actual examples of corroded structures. It also shows recommended methods of corrosion control and structural repair. A more brief booklet including self testing questions is also available Aircraft Corrosion Control. |
