Corrosion control in the aerospace industry is an issue that has always been important, but is becoming more so with the ageing of the aircraft fleet. Corrosion can lead to non-availability of aircraft and in extreme cases catastrophic failure. As aircraft age, they are subjected to corrosive environments over longer periods, far beyond initial design considerations. The first part of this important book reviews ageing aircraft and the cost of corrosion. A second group of chapters discusses corrosion fundamentals and part three examines corrosion monitoring, evaluation and prediction. A final section analyzes methods of corrosion protection and prevention.

The major objective of this book was to identify issues related to the introduction of new materials and the effects that advanced materials will have on the durability and technical risk of future civil aircraft throughout their service life. The committee investigated the new materials and structural concepts that are likely to be incorporated into next generation commercial aircraft and the factors influencing application decisions. Based on these predictions, the committee attempted to identify the design, characterization, monitoring, and maintenance issues that are critical for the introduction of advanced materials and structural concepts into future aircraft.
