This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) shall be limited to information about a specific corrosion mechanism of silver-plated conductors that produces cuprous/cupric oxide deposits (Red Plague). It examines some possible causes and some recommendations to minimize the possibility of its occurrence. It also provides a number of reference documents that describe the corrosion in detail, methods to determine conductor damage, methods to produce the corrosion, and other investigative reports of this phenomena and their conclusions. AIR4487 was initially published in 1992 to provide references on silver plated conductor red plague. The document has been updated by removing old reference documents which are no longer available; new information and reference documents were added based on recent studies.
