Abstract
Considers briefly the history of corrosion in metallic aircraft. Summarizes the different types of corrosion which affect aircraft and the methods for monitoring and measuring this corrosion. Presents an alternative approach called “controlled search peening” where the induced surface compressive stresses stretch and yield the outer material surface and induce visible blistering and flaking at the surface, indicating the existence of exfoliation corrosion.
