Hexavalent chromium is utilized for the purpose of providing corrosion inhibition on many DoD assets in the form of surface treatments and primers. However, hexavalent chromium is also a known carcinogen and environmental toxin. As a result, processes which involve the application of hexavalent chromium will likely face increased regulation in the future.
Age-hardenable aluminum alloys are used for many aerospace applications, where high strength and low density are required. In service, these alloys must withstand both demanding mechanical loads and corrosive environmental conditions. For components made of these alloys, problems may occur when mechanical stresses are present with a corrosive environment.
Corrosion is not just a sustainment concern that impacts the availability and safety of critical structural assets; it is also a damage mechanism that should be considered during the initial design phase. By considering the corrosion process and associated preventive strategies during the design phase it is possible to reduce total ownership cost and improve equipment readiness. The Department of Defense spends more than $23 billion each year to control corrosion on aircraft and other equipment in its operations around the world.
