Protective Coatings for Aluminum Torpedoes

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA131829 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The objectives of this study were to select and evaluate a very limited number of coatings and coating systems for aluminum that are resistant to mechanical handling and seawater corrosion Task I, and to protect aluminum from corrosion in seawater and Otto fuel Task II. Emphasis was placed on nonpolyurethane coatings. The candidate coatings were to be selected based on major differences in polymer composition and physical properties. The results are to be used for direction in developing more effective organic coatings.
