Concerns about increased maintenance costs and time due to corrosion are recognized by the USAF in having identified the C/KC-135 aircraft as being life limited by corrosion with respect to life cycle cost sustainment of the fleet (the first fleet identified in this manner). The overall objective of this effort was to assess the possibility of developing corrosion damage formation and growth models to assist in prediction corrosion maintenance actions (inspection and repair) on aluminum airframe structure. The assessment involved a review and evaluation of corrosion research and available data for the purpose of identifying or proposing corrosion formation and growth models. The corrosion research and available data considered under this effort included current research efforts directed at airframe corrosion damage formation and growth, USAF corrosion maintenance programs, aircraft basing history information, fleet maintenance data (inspection reports and repair orders), and airbase corrosion severity indices.
