Q

This type of corrosion is similar to intergranular corrosion except the corrosion follows grain boundaries and large chunks fall out. Extrusions can be susceptible where grain boundaries are stretched and/or rough surfaces occur during the
extruding process

A

exfoliating

25
Q

A common form of corrosion
on aluminum and magnesium alloys is _____ corrosion. It is first noticeable as a white or gray powdery deposit, similar
to dust, which blotches the surface.
When the deposit is cleaned away, tiny pits or holes can be seen in the surface. _____ can be particularly damaging on high strength steels such as landing gear

A

Pitting

PG 85-00-60 ENCL 1

26
Q

_____ corrosion occurs
when two dissimilar metals make
electrical contact in the presence of
an electrolyte. The most active metals (those which tend to lose their electrons easily), such as magnesium and aluminum, corrode easily

A

Galvanic

PG 85-00-60 ENCL 1

27
Q

_____ corrosion refers to corrosion occurring in confined spaces to which the access of the working fluid from the environment is limited. The presence of even minute spaces between metal components provides an ideal location for the intrusion of an electrolyte

A

Joint or Crevice

PG 85-00-60 ENCL 1

28
Q

Most alloys are made
up entirely of small crystal line regions, called grains. _____ corrosion is an attack along the boundaries of these grains. The grain boundaries differ, from a chemical point of view, from
the metal within the grain center. The grain boundary and the grain center can react with each other as a node and cathode when they are in contact with an electrolyte

A

Intergranular

PG 85-00-60 ENCL 1

29
Q

A uniform, regular removal of metal from the surface

A

Uniform or Surface Corrosion

PG 85-00-60 ENCL 1

30
Q

The rate at which corrosion proceeds maybe accelerated by a number of mechanical factors. Stress on aircraft parts maybe residual within the part as a result of externally applied cyclic loading or as a result of the production process. Corrosion fatigue is caused by the combined effects of cyclic stress and corrosion.
No metal is immune to some reduction in its resistance to cyclic stressing if the metal is in a corrosive environment. Fracture of a metal part due to fatigue corrosion generally occurs at a stress
level far below the fatigue limit. The
amount of external corrosion is a poor indicator of the strength of the part. For this reason, corrosion protection of all parts subject to alternating stresses is particularly important, even in environments which are only mildly corrosive.

_____ is where the internal stresses (residual stresses) vary across a section so that when they are loaded with additional outside forces, the grain boundaries at the surface start to break

A

Stress Corrosion

Stress Corrosion cracking

PG 85-00-60 ENCL 1

31
Q

Damage can occur at the
interface of two highly loaded surfaces which are not designed to move against each other. The most common type of _____ corrosion is caused by vibration. The protective film on the metal surfaces is removed by the rubbing action and exposes fresh, active metal to the corrosive action of the atmosphere. Often the by product is most noticeable on the surface and
is referred to as a working or smoking fastener/rivet, identifiable by the black soot like appearance around the fastener head and often trailing away

A

Fretting

PG 85-00-60 ENCL 1

32
Q

This form of attack occurs
on metallic surfaces having an organic coating as its protective basis. It is characterized by a snake like pattern of corrosive deterioration that forms
beneath painted surfaces. _____
attack tends to occur when relative
humidity is high (78 to 90%) and surface conditions are slightly acidic

A

Filliform

PG 85-00-60 ENCL 1

33
Q

_____ attacks on metallic surfaces include the
actions of bacteria, fungi, and
molds. _____ occur nearly
everywhere. Those organisms causing the greatest corrosion problems are bacteria and fungi. Wet wings with fuel can be a common location for microbial
attacks, particularly if insufficient Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII), which contains microbial inhibitors to combat this type of corrosive attack, is used

Micro-Organism or Microbial
