AI Thread Summary
Aluminium corrosion in aircraft fuselages primarily occurs due to exposure to moisture, salt, and other environmental factors, leading to oxidation and pitting. Common causes of metal degradation include electrochemical reactions and environmental stressors. To prevent corrosion, aircraft manufacturers often use protective coatings, anodization, and regular maintenance checks. Additionally, employing corrosion-resistant aluminium alloys can enhance durability. Understanding these factors is crucial for ensuring the longevity and safety of aircraft structures.

Describe how Aluminium can corrode or degradein Aircraft Fuselage.

And methods for avoid degradation in Aircraft Fuselage.
I don't know where to find any information on it at all
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What causes metal in general to degrade, and what techniques are commonly used to prevent it? Then see if those things apply to aluminum alloy.
