In this webinar, we will show you how Eurofins EAG supports you in the various phases of reliability testing to come to a robust product, including the different types of actual testing.
Flying Safely - Corrosion Testing for the Aviation Industry
When it comes to aviation, safety is paramount for not only manufacturers but consumers as well. Travelers want to know and be confident in the planes they fly and that they will get them safely to their destination. Unfortunately, recent news has surfaced about titanium entering the supply chain system using falsified documents. Typically, titanium is a corrosion-resistant metal – hence why it is often used to manufacture airplanes. Recently, per the New York Times, an unnamed parts supplier uncovered small holes in the material from corrosion. Airlines are now taking pre-emptive measures to ensure that these parts are removed from their supply chain, and grounding any planes that might contain this material.
What is Corrosion?
Corrosion has a big impact on industrial, infrastructure, and daily life. It is a natural process that gradually deteriorates materials which poses significant challenges to various sectors including transportation, energy, manufacturing, and construction. Simply put, it is the enemy of materials and leads to the degradation of metals and other substances due to environmental factors which can result in economic losses and safety hazards.
