  AIRCRAFT CLEANING AND CORROSION CONTROL - 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  
  AIRCRAFT METALS - Knowledge and understanding of the uses, strengths, limitations, and other characteristics of structural metals is vital to properly construct and maintain any equipment, especially airframes. In aircraft maintenance and repair, even a slight deviation from design specification, or the substitution of inferior materials, may result in the loss of both lives and equipment. The use of unsuitable materials can readily erase the finest craftsmanship. The selection of the correct material for a specific repair job demands familiarity with the most common physical properties of various metals.

Design for Corrosion Control - Boeing designs airplanes to resist corrosion through selection of the proper materials and finishes and the use of drainage, sealants, and corrosion inhibitors. These designs are based on knowledge of what causes corrosion and the types of corrosion that occur in airplane structure.
