Corrosion Protection of Aluminum Alloys Used in Aircraft - Testing, Analysis and Development of Environmentally Compliant Coatings and Pretreatments for the Corrosion Protection of Aircraft Alloys
Abstract
This report describes the work for FY 2000 for the Project Corrosion Protection of Aluminum Alloys Used in Aircraft (Grant # F49620-99-1.0283) for AFOSR. This Report contains the following sections that address the technical goals of the project: Goal 1. Improved electrochemical test methods and protocols for characterizing the performance of coated aircraft alloys. Goal 2. Surface Analysis Studies of Degradation of Coatings Properties Goal 3. SVET Studies of Coated Aluminum Alloys Goal 4. Advanced Spectroscopy of Coating/Metal Systems Goal 5. Further examination of conductive polymers for chrome free metal pretreatment primers for Al alloys Goal 6. Development of molecular probes for examining changes in thin coating films during exposure Goal 7. Electrochemical Instrumentation Development Goal 8. Chrome-free pretreatment materials based on sol-gel optimization - new silicon oligomer design & synthesis Goal 9. Improved design/expert systems methods for total aircraft coatings systems design (with AFRL/WPAFB).
