Abstract
Abstract Most naval aircraft, because of the corrosive environment in which they are employed, require the best available surface protection. Thin resin and lacquer films have exhibited good metal adherence and excellent resistance of protected parts to marine weathering. Many magnesium alloy components are effectively protected by high bake silicone resin formulations. Pigmented silicone resin coatings on engine cases and numerous other cast magnesium aircraft components, have been in operational use for about three years with good results. Use of such bake application methods is necessarily limited to certain aircraft parts. Protection of naval aircraft parts during standby and storage periods is now being accomplished by two new approaches, (1) thixotropic preservation formulations (gel structures) and (2) vapor corrosion inhibitors. A group of 22 North Island aircraft engines were carefully preconditioned, ten protected by conventional oil mixtures and twelve by a vapor corrosion inhibitor. The test e...
