CORROSION PREVENTION
It is important to keep the aircraft clean and to remove any collection of corrosive agents
such as oil, grease, dregs and other foreign matter. To avoid damage to finish do not use
polishing detergents.
Original or equivalent corrosion prevention must be re-applied after any alteration or
repair.
If any trace of corrosion is detected it should be removed as soon as possible and part
should be immediately treated to prevent further corrosion.
(a) For steel parts, with the exception of highly stressed components or stainless steel, it is
possible to use abrasives, power brushes, steel brushes if operated manually and steel
wool.
Removing corrosion byproducts from highly stressed steel components (main gear steel
spring) requires particular care.
(b) For aluminium parts, treatment consists in mechanically removing as much as
possible corrosion byproducts, applying corrosion inhibitor and replacing original finish.
Steel wool, emery or steel brushes (unless stainless steel) along with other highly abrasive
material should not be used since steel or emery particles become embedded in the softer
material causing corrosion.
After cleaning surface corrosion, parts must be treated with anti-corrosion finish.
