All environments are corrosive to varying degrees. Corrosion rates vary widely for almost any given metal with geographical location and surrounding industry. Thus, selection of metals and the means ofprotecting them is a dynamic problem in the manufacture, repair and maintenance of aerospace systems. Where the possibility of corrosion or a corrosion failure exists, economical and practical measures for inhibition and prevention of future failures are required. One of the major types of corrective and preventative measures is inhibitors. The successful application of inhibitors requires knowledge and understanding of their chemical behavior and of the corrosion processes in the system under consideration. This paper documents the process, procedure and application in the aerospace arena of a cleaner/coating combination.
