Corrosion Evaluation System Makes "Sense" for Aircraft Coatings
Through a Small Business Innovation Research project with Luna Innovations, the Air Force supported the development of CorRES, an improved system for coating materials performance evaluations. By better understanding the corrosion performance of materials put on an aircraft, the Air Force can help control corrosion costs and enable smart maintenance.
CorRES measures the ability of coatings to protect aircraft structures by using sensor panels that perform electrochemical measurements during corrosion testing. Unlike conventional coating tests that rely on an expert's visual evaluation of a test panel at the conclusion of a test cycle, CorRES records corrosion rate data throughout a test and transmits the data to a base station for evaluation.
