Q
  1. Why are piano type hinges prime spots for corrosion?
A

The steel pin and aluminum hinge material are dissimilar metals and the hinge design tends to trap moisture and contaminants.

16
Q
  1. Describe the tools that should be used to remove corrosion from anodized aluminum surfaces.
A

Nylon scrubber pads such as scotch brite, bristle brushes, aluminum wool or aluminum wire brushes.

17
Q
  1. Describe the effects of using steel brushes or steel wool to remove corrosion from aluminum surfaces.
A

Steel brushes or steel wool must not be used to clean aluminum because steel particles can become embedded in the aluminum and cause corrosion.

18
Q
  1. What is the purpose of Alodine?
A

Alodine is a chemical process that deposits a protective film on aluminum alloys. This film improves corrosion resistance and paint adhesion.

19
Q
  1. For what reason should you avoid cleaning anodized aluminum surfaces with aluminum metal polish?
A

Aluminum metal polish should not be used on anodized aluminum surfaces because it will remove the anodized surface.

20
Q
  1. Why should aircraft fabrics and plastics be cleaned only with recommended cleaners?
A

Recommended cleaners cause the least amount of deterioration or damage.

21
Q
  1. List at least 5 examples of areas in an aircraft that are prone to corrosion.
A
  1. Battery compartments
  2. Exhaust trail areas
  3. Bilge areas
  4. Vent areas
  5. Landing gear and wheel wells
  6. Fuel tanks
  7. Wing flap recesses
  8. Around and below galleys and lavatories
  9. Piano hinges
  10. Any area that can trap water
