Aircraft Corrosion


Corrosion of metal parts is one of the most critical problems affecting the life of aircraft structure. It is a phenomenon of metal breakdown into oxides, chlorides or carbonates due to chemical or electrochemical reactions with the environment leading to the deterioration of the structure component.
Corrosion damage occurrence on an aircraft depends on several factors classified as follows:
- The degree of corrosion protection during manufacture and/or assembly process,
- The degree of maintenance performed during operational life (prevention),
- Environmental condition in which the aircraft is operated,
- The type of cargo and other items transporting.
- Type of materials used in various areas.
