DESCRIPTION OF THE CORROSION CONDITIONS: Helicopters usually fly close to the earths surface where the atmosphe

18、these topics. 4.1 Surface Corrosion: Corrosion can occur on the surface of components which are surrounded by the ambient atmosphere. Some of these areas where corrosion occurs are the outer parts of the engine casings, the accessories fitted around those casings, and the inner airflow path of the e

19、ngine. Entrapment of fine sand particles in engine components can also be a source of corrosi on. The outer surface of casings and the accessories within the helicopter engine compartment are in contact with the air supplied by the compartment ventilation. Due to the shape of engine equipment, and r

20、ecessed areas, air does not circulate freely and moisture becomes trapped. Components which are in the airflow path such as the air intake duct, compressor bl adi ng , combust i on 1 i ner , turbi ne bl adi ng , and i nner surf ace of casings may be affected by corrosion. content, the exposure is si

The corrosion consists of the degradation of the metallic components into complex oxides. Near room temperature, thi

These are mostly rotating components whi

This particular process is dangerous because the extent of damage is Stress corrosion generally occurs on engine components which operate in the l

Examples are compressors and attachment The damage under stress corrosion should be considered as a propagation phenomenon in an aggressive media starting from surface damage. may be very small and very often from a single superficial corrosion point. This dama

This type of corrosion occurs on connectors and accessories where dissimilar metals m

EFFECT ON COMPONENTS: 5.1 Rotating Engine Components: The major effect of corrosion on engine rotating components is the reduction of the life on those components. to burst if the corrosion damage is not discovered in time by maintenance inspection. Low cycle fatigue on discs could ca

28、use them The corrosion may either initiate a crack from a surface corrosion defect which develops (e.g., under engine start-stop sequences, or from stress corrosion in a recessed area on the surface which develops under static stress). This may happen on rotor discs, compressor or turbine shafts, la

29、byrinth seals, etc. To evaluate the sensitivity of materials to stress corrosion, laboratory tests of stressed specimens in salt spray environment are carried out to determine the K1 SCC (K1 stress corrosion concentration) factor. These effects are major because their consequences relate to aircraft

30、 safety. As such they need to be looked at very carefully at the different stages of the engine life from design to service. -4- SAE AIR*Li495 93 W 79Li3725 0517362 5TB W SAE AIR4495 5.1 (Continued): Corrosion also develops on other components where failure is not a major safety concern but which ma

The corrosion usually develops from

32、 a crack initiation lowering the standard initiation life of the material and, therefore, the high cycle fatigue (HCF) limits (so-called vibration corrosion). Corrosion can also take place on rotating components at locations where it would produce only minor effects on engine performance. This would

Compressor or This is This can be the case for costly parts, such as turbine discs, where defects due to corrosion on their balancing flanges would fail repairability limits. 5.2 Static Engine Components: The outer sur

The most sensitive elements are the assemblies, such as

Components such as combustion and turbine casings are 5.3 Systems, Accessories: The most sensitive system components to corrosion are the electrical circuit components, mainly the connectors.

36、The joining of dissimilar materials, the use of copper, and the dimensions of pins, plugs, wires, etc. favor corrosive action. The result is that the system becomes inoperative by short with connector. The mechanical and hydromechanical unit sensitivity except that the exposed cas al so become corro

Since corrosion 6.1 D

39、esign Stage: The ideal situation for the designer would be to use corrosion resistant or stainless steel material for all parts where a corrosion threat exists. Due to many other requirements, such as performance (need of suitable characteristics at high temperature), high life limits and weight, th

40、ere are trade-offs which may obligate the designer to choose materials which are vulnerable to corrosion. the selection process of each new material. This consideration should be of prime importance in 6.1.1 Rotating Components: chosen very carefully to cope with the objective life limit, the burst

The materials for parts in the airflow path should be On compressors, titanium alloys are widely used because, in most cases, it remains the best combination of mechanical resistance, corrosion resistance, and weight. evidence that there is no fire ha

Most of the time, blading requires coating when an iron based material is used instead of titanium. However, t

43、his choice must be supported by the For hot section components, nickel base alloys are mainly used. engines require higher and higher creep characteristics, the chemistry of the alloys is developed to the prejudice of hot corrosion resistance. Therefore, the blading of turbines must generally be coa

The processes are quoted in 7.1.6 (more particularly low pressure plasma spraying - (LPPS - and physical vapor deposition -PVD-) . As modern The main difficulty regarding blade coating is the proper adheren

Wear or impact of foreign particles which break the surface, creates spots which are then unprotected from corrosion. -6- SAE AIR*4495 93 W 79

Any discontinuity of the surface should be carefully designed not only to prevent corrosive particles from being trapped, but also for the obvious aerodynamic purpose of minimizing drag. aerodynamics s

This is one area where good Nevertheless, there One basic principle for designing corrosion-free static components is to avoid contact of two different materials, where it is not absolutely proven that they will not develop galvanic corrosion. This effect is well known and the compatibility of materials is currently established; if not, appropriate laboratory testing should be carried out. The use of mag
