Forms a Amalgam

Soaks in and attacks grain boundaries

Aircraft cannot be moved

Cleaned

X Ray

37
Q

How to Clean Mercury Spillage

A

Vacuum

Syringe

Nickel plated carbon fiber brush

38
Q

Microbial Corrosion

A

Fuel tanks

Dormaint until water and temp

Feeds of hydrocarbons in fuel

Attaches and damages structure

39
Q

Hydrogen Embrittlement in Ferrous Metals

A

Can occur at loads 30% of UTS

Hydrogen from Corrosion

Attaches to Surfaces under sustained load

Embrittlement Occurs

Harder the metal more likely for HE

40
Q

Removal of Hydrogen Embrittlement in Ferrous

A

Bake Op at 191

41
Q

Hydrogen Embrittlement in Titanium

A

Can be bonded

Room Temp; Acids

288 °C ; Steam Oil or Other Hydrogen
Stubstances

Hydrogen gathers at areas of high stress

HE reduces impact and tensile strength

42
Q

Removal of Hydrogen Embrittlement in Ferrous

A

Relief Op at 524 °C for 6 hours

43
Q

A

Combination of Corrosion and Fatigue

Mechanical degradation due to cyclical loading and corrosion

Normal Fatigue
90% Nucleation 10% Propagation

Corrosion Fatigue
10% Nucleation 90% Propagation
