Corrosion Control in Aircraft

Corrosion Technical Series

Corrosion Control in Aircraft

March 16-17, 2021
10 a.m. – 12 p.m. CST each day
Virtual (Zoom)

This virtual Corrosion Technical Series (CTS) Short Course event delivers four hours of educational content delivered across two days. Industry experts representing various perspectives throughout the aerospace landscape will focus on corrosion control of aircraft, including military, commercial, unmanned area vehicles (UAV), satellites, rockets, and deep space propulsion. The event will highlight current challenges in maintaining operational readiness of these aircraft and what you can do from a corrosion mitigation and asset management perspective.

Walk away from this short course with an understanding of the necessary methods for effective corrosion mitigation within the aerospace industry. Areas of interest will include how to approach prolonging the service life of existing/aging assets as well as those new to service based on their intended purpose, the importance of materials selection and design for extreme temperatures and environments, how to plan inspection and employ corrosion control methods around degradation mechanisms, coating protections systems focusing on the role and interaction of metals and alloys with coatings, as well as current developments in coatings with a subsequent focus on current developments in materials that better mitigate corrosion damage in aircraft.
