Thanks for the replies guys, although it looks as if it's back to the ASM materials books in that dusty library.
What do people think of using Deoxidine and Alochrom as a basic treatment for the corrosion of Aluminium? After this treatment, followed by paint, will corrosion pits continue to erode into the surface of the metal?
I know the only real answer is to cut away the corrosion and rivet in a repair, but that's unfortunately not an option for me. How is Corrosion actually dealt with on airworthy aircraft?
