(10) Any area where water may be trapped is a trouble spot for corrosion. Drain holes should be
checked and cleaned regularly.
(11) Battery compartment and vent openings are particularly prone to corrosion due to spilled
electrolyte. Fumes from overheated battery electrolyte will spread to adjacent areas and cause
rapid corrosion of unprotected surfaces. Frequent cleaning and neutralization of deposits will
minimize corrosion from this cause.
(12) Due to magnesium parts being prone to corrosion, special attention should be given to their
surface treatment, proper insulation (due to dissimilar metal corrosion) and paint coatings.
(13) Electrical components and connectors should be checked. Their inspection frequency should
be based on their operational environment and past trouble with them.
(14) Skin joints and lap-overs are two areas which may contain moisture. Corrosion in these areas
may go unnoticed unless particular attention is paid to them during inspection.
(15) Hoses having an internal wire braid which are located in a position where they are frequently
water soaked need a protective treatment.
(16) Drilled holes and the trimmed end of sandwich panels should be protected. An inhibitor
solution and/ or sealant application is recommended. Any gaps or cavities which allow dirt or
moisture to enter should be filled with a sealant.
