Aircraft Carrier Exposure Tests of Cast Magnesium Alloys

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA268260 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report describes the results of an ongoing effort to determine the behavior of aircraft materials and finishes in the Naval environment of aircraft carrier flight decks. Coated cast magnesium alloys were exposed to the carrier environment for a relatively short time and experienced significant corrosion effects compared to aluminum control specimens.... Magnesium alloys, Exfoliation, Aircraft carrier environment.
