Abstract:
As the greatest military platform in human history，aircraft carrier is a complicated giant system with a great variety of materials and complex operating environment. This paper presents the general principles in material selection for aircraft carrier operated in severe conditions, and elaborates on the special material requirements on the hull construction, the pipeline and accessories as well as nonmetal materials. The article introduces the characteristics of material corrosion on aircraft carrier. The First characteristic comes from the various corrosion environment，the highly standard protection requirements and the difficulty in corrosion design. The second one comes from the complication in system composition, the great amount of equipment and powerful influence on corrosion malfunction. The last one comes from the intricate cabin structures, the short of construction space and the difficulty in anticorrosion. Based on the corrosion characteristics of aircraft carrier materials, the paper expresses the control requirements of corrosion and elaborates on deficiency in selecting aircraft carrier’s materials based on investigation in corrosion control management, methods of corrosion control and capability of anticorrosion materials. And a series of pertinent advises and countermeasures in corrosion control has been provided.
