The purpose of this information report is to summarize and document data regarding possible alternatives to the use of cadmium plating on hardware typical of the aerospace hose and fitting industry. To document and provide access to information obtained by an industry survey.
This Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is written as an aid for locating and identifying various fitting designs and configurations that are designated as standard parts.
The objective of this work was to develop a relatively simple screening or bench test, or a combination of such tests, which would evaluate aircraft greases in respect to corrosion protection under the operating conditions described above.
