Subra Bettadapur, lead engineer for Materials and Corrosion Prevention for the EFV Program, said the new vehicle integrates design changes that will avoid water entrapment. In addition, he noted that the vehicle's 'robust production ready-paint system' contains significantly improved corrosion-resistant chemicals, primers, and paint. He added, 'Continued effort is being made to prevent dissimilar metals usage, and where not possible, provide adequate protection to prevent corrosion.' Compared to its precursor, the EFV also will use more titanium and stainless steel for structural components. Other corrosion-resistant materials, including aluminum alloys, also are being used to protect against oxidation, reduce weight, and improve ballistic properties. 'With regard to the welding process, friction stir welding, which has the potential for providing joint designs with superior strength, fatigue, and ballistic properties, but more significantly improved corrosion mitigation, is being developed specifically for EFV hull structures and is planned to be utilized for future EFV build,' said Battadapur. 'Also vehicle inspection, maintenance, and corrosion repair plans, and training methods, with repair kits, have been developed, and are being utilized to monitor and control in order to achieve significant corrosion prevention and control capability in the EFV.'

Battadapur added that the EFV will boast impressive environmental credentials. It will not use conventional hexavalent pretreatment and paint primers and topcoats, which are carcinogenic. 'Extensive testing of the pretreatment chemicals and paint primers and paints was performed, and aerospace-quality chemicals and methods were selected,' he recalled. Warp Galaxy Vhdl more. Three of the coatings selected include NAVAIR-developed trivalent chromium pretreatment, the corrosion preventive compound Navguard, and highly corrosion-resistant non-hexavalent primer and topcoat. 'In addition, titanium inserts were coated with a ceramic coating and used,' Battadapur said.
