alternatives for replacing chromates as
required by the European Registration,
Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction
of Chemicals (R EACH) and Restriction of
Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
regulations.
The software tool is designed
to make the modeling
approach accessible to
engineers and designers who
are not CAE experts.
Even with both good computational
methods and a reliable database, the
approach cannot be brought into the
mainstream until it is incorporated into
specif ications, say Rose and Legg. For this
reason, the Sea-Based Aviation team is
now in the process of updating MIL-
STD-889 to change its basis from ΔE to
corrosion current and corrosion rate.
This work was funded by the Off ice of
Naval Research, Sea-Based Aviation Pro-
gram, Program Off icer William
Nickerson.
