Lobster corrodes aircraft
Keywords Aircraft, Corrosion
Still on the subject of conferences, readers from the aerospace industry will be pleased to note that the 5th International Aerospace Corrosion Control Symposium will take place in Amsterdam from the 3-5 November 1999.
Past conferences have brought together a wide range of aerospace corrosion experts. Discussions, lasting long after the formal conference has finished for the day, have ranged from subjects such as maintenance procedures, new materials, the latest R&D, through to issues such as airworthiness corrosion programmes and environmental pollution.
Transporting live lobsters by plane? How do I stop my aircraft's floor from rusting away? This was one of the problems, albeit an unusual one, for which a solution was proposed at a previous symposium. Small children and fizzy drinks, visits to the smallest room aboard, the galley floor, are among corrosion problems that have also been discussed. Stress corrosion, shot peening, coatings, paint stripping and vacuum deposition have also provided areas for lively discussion.
Over 600 delegates from more than 68 countries have attended previous symposia in this series, thus providing a worldwide dissemination of knowledge on this vital subject.
