Q

Why is an aircraft cleaned before inspection?

A

It enables the mechanic to conduct a more accurate inspection

17
Q

How may fretting corrosion in aluminum be readily identified?

A

By the appearance of corrosion products residue (frequently originating around and streaming back from rivet heads) having a dark smoky or sooty appearance

18
Q

Why are piano type hinges prime spots for corrosion?

A

Piano hinges are corrosion prone due to dissimilar metal contact between the steel pin and aluminum hinge and because of their design which tends to trap contaminants

19
Q

How are piano type hinges protected from corrosion?

A

By being kept as clean as possible and properly lubricated

20
Q

What is Alodine used for?

A

Alodine treatment deposits a chemically formed oxide on aluminum alloys to improve corrosion resistance and enhance paint bonding qualities.

21
Q

Is it permissible to use steel wool or steel wire brushes or aluminum surfaces?

A

No, it is not permissible. The traces of steel can become embedded in the aluminum and cause corrosion.

22
Q

What is the most common type of corrosion?

A

Surface

23
Q

What is an acceptable method for removing surface corrosion from Titanium?

A

1) Stainless steel wool or brush
2) Aluminum oxide paper
3) Scotch-brite
4) Abrasive blast with glass beads
5) Hand polish with aluminum polish and soft cotton cloth

24
Q

What form of corrosion is an attack along the grain boundaries of an alloy that is usually caused by improper heat treatment?

A

Intergranular corrosion

25
Q

The lifting and flaking of metal surface due to the buildup of corrosion products, as a result of severe Intergranular corrosion, is an indication of what form of corrosion?

A

Exfoliation

26
Q

What is another name for corrosion caused by contact of dissimilar metals?

A

Galvanic corrosion

27
Q

What form of corrosion can be found in battery compartments?

A

Direct chemical attack or chemical corrosion

28
Q

Name at least one type of surface treatment used on aluminum surfaces.

A

Alodizing and Anodizing
