paint thinners, lacquers, and adhesives. It has been used as a paint remover in softening fluorescent-finish, clear-topcoat sealing materials. It is also an acceptable thinner for zinc chromate primer. It has been used as an antiknocking additive…
- Chapter 6: Flight Controls › Flight Control Systems › Primary Flight Controls
Flight Control Systems Flight Controls Aircraft flight control systems consist of primary and secondary systems. The ailerons, elevator (or stabilator), and rudder constitute the primary control system and are required to control an aircraft safely during flight. Wing flaps, leading ... edge devices, spoilers, and trim systems constitute the secondary control system and improve the performance characteristics of the airplane or relieve the pilot of excessive control forces. Primary Flight Controls Aircraft control systems are carefully designed to provide adequate responsiveness…
- Chapter 8: Cleaning & Corrosion Control › Galvanic Corrosion › Common Corrosive Agents
Galvanic Corrosion Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals make electrical contact in the presence of an electrolyte. [Figure 8-18] The rate which corrosion occurs depends on the difference in the activities. The greater the difference in activity ... faster corrosion occurs. The rate of galvanic corrosion also depends on the size of the parts in contact. If the surface area of the corroding metal is smaller than the surface area of the less active metal, corrosion is rapid…
- Chapter 8: Cleaning & Corrosion Control › Corrosion of Aluminum & Aluminum Alloys
some cases, the corrosion products of metal in contact with aluminum are corrosive to aluminum. Therefore, aluminum and its alloys must be cleaned and protected. Corrosion on aluminum surfaces is usually quite obvious, since the products of corrosion are white ... generally more voluminous than the original base metal. Even in its early stages, aluminum corrosion is evident as general etching, pitting, or roughness of the aluminum surfaces. NOTE: Aluminum alloys commonly form a smooth surface oxidation that is from…
