Design Guidelines for Prevention of Corrosion in Combat and Tactical Vehicles
Abstract
This report was prepared to provide guidelines for the military design engineer in developing improved corrosion control techniques for military combat and tactical vehicles. It covers basic corrosion theory, principles of proper design and protective coatings for metals. The common forms of corrosion are reviewed and specific approaches to control of each type are suggested. Corrosion will be defined, for the purposes of this document, as unwanted chemical reaction between a metallic material and its environment, resulting in deterioration of strength or other properties essential to the performance of a given item or system. Partial contents: Fundamentals of Electrochemistry, Forms of Corrosion, Impingement, or Erosion, Corrosion, Protective Coatings, Stress Corrosion Cracking (S.C.C.), Welding and Joining, Special Considerations for Electrical and Electronic Equipment, Electroplating, Cladding (also known as roll-bonding), Hot-dip Coatings, Organic Coatings.
