Many aircraft structures are made of metal, and the most insidious form of damage to those structures is corrosion. From the moment the metal is manufactured, it must be protected from the deleterious effects of the environment that surrounds it. This protection can be the introduction of certain elements into the base metal, creating a corrosion-resistant alloy, or the addition of a surface coating of a chemical conversion coating, metal, or paint. While in use, additional moisture barriers, such as viscous lubricants and protectants, may be added to the surface.
