Shipboard Exposure Testing.

Abstract

An effort is underway to correlate results of accelerated laboratory corrosion tests with actual shipboard exposure of aircraft materials. This report compares results of corrosion tests of a series of aluminum alloys with varying degrees of exfoliation resistance exposed on the flight decks of nuclear and conventional carriers. Results of exposure of laser hardening paints, water displacing paint, aluminum/aluminum oxide and graphite/epoxy composites are also described. Additionally, results of initial laboratory tests are given. (Author)
