A comprehensive manual which describes how modern aircraft are made of lightweight metals which are highly reactive to contaminants in the atmosphere. Salt air from coastal regions and industrial contaminants from urban areas attack aluminium alloy and magnesium structures and, according to an estimate made by the Air Transport Association, cost the American industry some six billion dollars a year for damage due to corrosion. It also explains how corrosion is a complex electro-chemical reaction that causes metals to be transformed into their salts and oxides. These powdery substances replace the metal and cause severe loss of strength in the structure. While complex in its nature, the actual mechanics of corrosion are relatively simple and straightforward. Corrosion is a natural process, and its prevention is almost impossible; but it can be controlled, this book explains how. 56 pages
