Abstract :
Corrosion is discussed as a serious threat to aviation readiness and safety. To prevent or minimize aircraft corrosion, the US Army Aviation Systems Command (AVSCOM) has developed and is implementing a corrosion prevention and control (CPC) program that incorporates the following actions: properly coating exposed metal; isolating dissimilar metals; using corrosion-resistant metal alloys; using proper sealants and water-displacing compounds; avoiding poor design features; increasing awareness of corrosion; and implementing an effective CPC program. The AVSCOM CPC program is divided into five major elements that incorporate CPC: management, design, maintenance, training, and awareness
