Corrosion and failures in aerospace are extremely dangerous and expensive. The front-line of aerospace failure analysis is the mechanics who evaluate planes every day, finding the flaws before they become serious. However, when you see repeated premature failures or corrosion, it may be time to get US Corrosion involved. Our metallurgical and corrosion experts can help you diagnose the root cause of failure, allowing you to determine effective way to prevent or mitigate corrosion and failures.
What forms of corrosion are common in aerospace applications?
Aerospace materials are subject to basically every form of corrosion depending on their applications. For example:
- High-strength parts are subject to hydrogen embrittlement and other environmental cracking like stress corrosion
- Aluminum is subject to stress corrosion, pitting, and fatigue
- Turbine blades are subject to high temperatures, and in some cases also glassy silicates from fine sands in the air.
- Space-bound parts are subject to vacuum, ions, and ultra-low temperatures
- Many different parts can experience abrasion, erosion, or wear damage
