Q

How should you remove light corrosion

A

Abrasive cloths or pads

20
Q

What wire brushes should you use to get rid of corrosion

A

Stainless steel or aluminium oxide coated brushes

21
Q

How should you remove hard corrosion

A

Grinding motor

22
Q

What are the disadvantages of a grinding motor to get rid of corrosion

A

Not suitable for aluminium alloys
Can cause high temps so changes mechanical properties

When should you use rotary files and what is it suitable for

A

When corrosion is heavy
Suitable for aluminium and steel alloys

24
Q

When should you use abrasive blasting

A

On filiform corrosion

25
Q

How can you ensure that all the corrosion has been removed

A

By using a x10 magnifier
Getting NDT IN

26
Q

How do aluminium alloy corrosion present itself

A

White deposits
Etching, pitting and roughness

27
Q

What brushes can’t you use on aluminium alloy and what should you use

A

Carbon steel and steel wool brushes
Use stainless steel

28
Q

How does corrosion on carbon steel present itself

A

Red rust

29
Q

How does corrosion on stainless steel/nickel chromium present itself

A

Pitting usually a black colour

30
Q

How does titanium alloy corrosion present itself

A

Black or white colour

31
Q

How do you remove corrosion on titanium and what do you need to be careful off

A

Gental corrosion removal because small chips that can easily ignite

32
Q

How would you put out a titanium fire

A

Sand or a non water based extinguisher

33

What paint finish does Boeing follow

A

2 phase paint finishing system

40
Q

What should you do if you suspect a corrosion under paint

A

Make a small test area

41

A

Fixing
Partial/total renewel
Basic renewal

42
Q

What is the main example of a corrosion protective paints

A

Electrically conductive paint

43
Q

What areas need priming for electrically conductive paint

A

All plastic components of outer skin expect the antenna

44
Q

What else need to be covered with electrically conductive paint

A

Minimum of 75% of all countersinks

45
Q

What is the most common water repellent fluid and where can’t you use it

A

Dinitrol
Oil based so no oxygen systems as will explode
