types Flashcards
occurs at attachment points (like antenna) with build-up
galvanic
decay of metals as they combine with oxygen forms
metallic oxides
forms a strong anodic galvanic cell when in contact with other metals and is always attacked
magnesium
type of aluminum alloys used on naval aircraft
nonclad
by metabolic activity of bacteria
biological
caused by an external current leaving the hull and entering the seawater
stray-current
common on aboveground pipes exposed to the air
atmospheric
part of the aircraft that receives the most punishment
wheel well
attack on grain boundaries, hard to identify visually, may look like sand grains
intergranular

occurs at antenna attachment points
galvanic
localized areas with stagnant moisture or solution
concentration cell
found in the vicinity of the shaft, props, or other protruding underwater components
cavitation
caused by the electrolytic action of a galvanic cell
localized
all metals consist of tiny building blocks called what
crystals (grain boundaries)
