Course #750
Corrosion Prevention and Control Course
When a student completes this course she/he should be able to:
- identify well over a dozen different types of corrosion that can attack an aircraft
~ Galvanic, SCC, Pitting, Exfoliation, Crevice, Corrosion Fatigue, Embrittlement, Fretting… - explain to others the economic toll corrosion can inflict on structures
- have a collection of corrosion case histories they have learned from, and be able to help others
- pinpoint contributing causes, “usual suspects” and also unusual corrosion locations
- prescribe effective preventive processes and maintenance actions to minimize corrosion dangers
- show to management and clients striking examples of the folly of delayed maintenance actions
- implement an effective FAA / DoD CPCP Corrosion Prevention and Control Program
- appreciate the need for proper application and maintenance of paints, inhibitors, and coatings
- acknowledge the importance of proper, gentle corrosion removal actions
- understand Continuing Airworthiness concerns impacted by corrosion in aging aircraft
