This paper presents an efficient method for selecting aerospace chemicals and finishes that ensure that the greatest degree of corrosion protection in aerospace environments. A coating-and-sealant-selection flowchart is included to provide a simplified strategy for determining the most effective coatings and sealants for particular applications. Various forms of aircraft corrosion, especially galvanic corrosion, are discussed, with examples of how corrosion-preventive materials and processes have been applied to solve several aircraft corrosion problems.
