Method to Track Corrosion Environment in Aircraft
Abstract
A Corrosion Environment Monitoring (CEM) system was developed as a data acquisition device designed to collect and store environmental data for military and commercial aircraft. Accurate and robust commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) sensor systems are combined with state-of-the-art processing units to capture and store a wide range of physical data related to the corrosion phenomena. The collected sensor data include temperature, humidity, pH concentration, chloride ion concentration, and the free potential of aluminum. The collected data can then be used in predictive maintenance and other history-based prognostics. The data stored on a PC card is transferred to a host PC using the CEM Analysis software for postcollection display and analysis.
