A Framework for Corrosion Prediction and Management

Abstract

Technology and economics drive the reduction in life cycle costs for the sustainment of aging aircraft. Technological advances in metal alloys, heat treatments, coatings and processes provide opportunities for longer component life with less frequent inspections to meet the challenge of maintenance cost reductions. Key aspects for the successful implementation of these newer technologies will be discussed. They include a framework to predict corrosion and the development of a corrosion management paradigm.
