Preventing Aircraft Corrosion Failures involving landing gear Using the wrong types of grease in aircraft landing gear actuators can lead to stress corrosion cracking and, in time, complete failure.
Coatings Selection Considerations in Manufacturing, Construction environments Often times there are very specific requirements that an alloy or coating must meet.
High temperature, corrosion-proof metals and coatings used in service Corrosion creates the need for materials that can withstand extreme heat without becoming brittle. Some of the best metals and coatings are discussed.
Preventing Corrosion with Cathodic Protection The method is typically applied to iron or steel structures such as underground pipelines, storage tanks, the interior of water storage tanks, ocean pilings, and electrical transmission towers.
Cathodic Protection design, installation, maintenance When planning the installation of cathodic protection the following factors should be considered.
Stress Corrosion Cracking and Corrosion Fatigue Both stress corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue are surface initiated and appear to be brittle, with very little macroscopic evidence of deformation.
Accelerated Environmental Testing While some labs may be conducting accelerated testing, such as controlled humidity, or salt spray to access the corrosion resistance of samples, these tests do not represent a typical environment.
Electrochemical Impedance vs. Salt Spray testing The question is asked, "which is a better accelerated testing method, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) or salt spray testing?"
