Corrosion Resistant Steels for Structural Applications in Aircraft

Abstract

Unlike chrome plating, where environmental and health problems are generally associated with the plating process, the problems with cadmium are intrinsic to the metal itself, creating occupational safety and health (OSH) risks and raising maintenance costs throughout the life of all cadmium plated parts. The only long-term answer to the problem is not a coating but a new steel that not only obviates the need for a coating but also eliminates these failures. This steel will be used not only in new landing gear designs, but also for sustainment of legacy systems, which is the reason that the Aging Landing Gear Life Extension program (ALGLE) is assisting in funding the development.
