Installation of Corrosion Control Solutions During System RESET

Abstract

Corrosion of ground weapon systems results in significant monetary costs. Some vehicles, such as legacy systems may be predisposed to corrosion. For modern weapon systems exposure to corrosive environments and/or repair may reduce the corrosion control systems. Upgrade or restoration of the corrosion control systems is needed. Technology examples: 1) Paints and coatings - Zinc-rich, High-build polyurethane; 2) Plating and metalizing - Zinc and aluminum alloys, High purity non-aqueous aluminum plating; 3) Part replacement - Corrosion resistant parts, Non-metallic components, Part upgrade (e.g., galvanized body panels).
