CORROSION AS A PROBLEM TO THE AIR FORCE

Abstract

The following recommendations are made to the Air Force to insure an effective corrosion control program: (1) Recognition of corrosion as a major problem at 'top side' in DOD and USAF, (2) Trained engineers to insure compliance with existing design, procurement, production, modification and maintenance directives at all levels, (3) Eliminate the small economics in procurement and production that later develop into costly maintenance and modification requirements, (4) Provide for and enforce proper cleaning and protection of weapon systems and ground support equipment in the field.
