Course Overview
Corrosion in aircraft can take many different
forms and the resistance of aircraft materials to
corrosion can drastically change with only a
small environmental change. Prompt detection
and removal of corrosion will limit the extent of
damage to an aircraft and its components. This
3‐day course covers the different types of
corrosion commonly encountered in aircraft 2.7 Stress Corrosion Cracking
structures. Practical methods, materials and 2.8 Liquid Metal Embrittlement
strategies for corrosion control and prevention 2.9 Hydrogen Damage
2.10 Corrosion Fatigue
are also discussed in depth. Real‐life case
2.11 Fretting Corrosion
studies are presented throughout the course.
