- Description
- AFCPCO-MERC Corrosion Sensor Industry Day The Air Force Corrosion Prevention and Control Office (AFCPCO) and the Mercer Engineering Research Center (MERC) are hosting a corrosion sensor industry day. The US Air Force (USAF) spends upwards of $700 million each year inspecting and maintaining their aircraft against corrosion, often requiring costly disassembly and repair. A new generation of corrosion sensors, as part of a management system, is needed to directly detect and measure corrosion and coating breakdown (not just environmentally corrosive conditions). Useful sensors will be able to quantify material loss, detect pitting and other corrosion forms, monitor coating system condition and output friendly, actionable data to AF maintainers. Additional considerations include sensor durability, sensitivity and false positive rate. The intention of this industry day is to provide researchers and developers of applicable technologies the opportunity to present and discuss their products and findings to/with AFCPCO and MERC. Sensors that meet USAF requirements may then enter into laboratory, site, and flight testing for verification and characterization. The tentative dates for the corrosion sensor industry day are 2-4 Nov 2010. It will be held in Warner Robins, GA. For more details, please contact Gerry Ringe at (478) 953-6800 or gringe@merc-mercer.org or Stan Yarbrough at (478) 953-6800 or syarbrough@merc-mercer.org.
