Victoria Avance is at the International Conference on Aluminum Alloys (#ICAA19) to present SLEAC™, a mechanical test system and method developed by Luna Labs USA (Fritz Friedersdorf, Rebecca Marshall, Vic Avance) and collaborators from the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Materials Protection and Technology Branch to assess corrosion inhibiting coatings and their capacity to protect structures from environmentally assisted cracking (EAC). The ability to evaluate the efficacy of primers to protect an aluminum alloy substrate from stress corrosion cracking (SCC) represents a significant step forward in addressing maintenance and safety issues for aircraft and other lightweight structures. Special thanks to our collaborators, Steven Kopitzke and Alexander Lilly. The ICAA is one of the foremost global conferences dedicated to advancing aluminum alloys as a sustainable solution for packaging, automotive and aerospace applications, and much more. #NAWCAD #EAC #SCC #aluminumalloys #corrosionmonitoring #coatingprotection
