EVALUATION OF AIRCRAFT EXPERIMENTAL FASTENERS.
Abstract
The purpose of this program is to evaluate the corrosion protection provided by coatings applied to various fasteners used for aircraft skin attachment. On a production HC-130H aircraft, 7,590 fasteners were installed in four test areas. Fasteners included aluminum and titanium rivets, titanium Hi-loks, and steel lockbolts. Coatings include cadmium plating, anodizing, aluminum coatings, zinc chromate primer and aircraft sealant. The test aircraft has been delivered to the Air Force and will be jointly surveyed in the field by the Contractor and the Air Force Materials Lab for an 18-month period at 6-month intervals.
