TO 1-1-700 vulnerable surfaces clean while the components are operating. In storage, however, the intrusion of contaminates can cause corrosion to continue unchecked until the component is ruined. Table 8-1 lists common effects of corrosion on electrical components and systems. 8.5.1.3 Electronic. Electronic systems are particularly vulnerable to corrosion damage. In modern electronics, circuit areas are minimized to permit fast operation. Because of this, most circuit paths have a very small cross-sectional area, making them extremely vulnerable to corrosion damage. Often, corrosion that is barely visible to the naked eye is severe enough to impact the operation of a circuit and cause a system failure. Table 8-1. Effects of Corrosion on Electronic Equipment Component Failure Mode Antennas Relay and switching systems Plugs, connectors, jacks Power cables Display lamps Waveguides Printed circuit boards Batteries Bus bars Coaxial Lines Shorts, changes is circuit constants, structural deterioration Mechanical failure, shorts, intermittent operation, signal loss Shorts, increased resistance, intermittent operation, water seal deterioration Disintegration of insulation, wire and connector deterioration, shorts Intermittent operation, electrical failures Loss of integrity against moisture, pitting, reduction of efficiency, structural deterioration Shorts, increased resistance, component and system failures High terminal resistance, contact point failure, structural damage to mounting Structural and electrical failures Impedance fluctuations, signal loss, deterioration of connectors 8.5.2 Recognizing Corrosion. The ability to recognize corrosion is essential to performing a comprehensive corrosion inspection. Metals tend to return to their natural forms (oxides, carbonates, and others) and are thus vulnerable to corrosion. Table 8-2 describes the application of common metals in communications electronics and the indicators of corrosion in those metals. Detailed instructions or guidelines for recognizing corrosion can be found in Chapter 9 of this manual. In most cases, deterioration of nonmetallic components allows moisture intrusion. This contributes to mechanical failure through swelling and cracking. In addition, it contributes to the alteration of the electronic characteristics of electronic components. Table 8-3 describes the type of attack and the appearance of the deterioration for common nonmetallic items in C-E-M equipment. 8.5.3 Effects of Solder Flux. Solder flux residues are highly corrosive and may be conductive as well. In addition, they have adhesive properties, attracting and accumulating dirt or other contaminates. In turn, these contaminates may trap moisture, causing corrosion or circuit failure. Ultraviolet light may be used to detect solder flux residue. 8.5.4 Effects of Microbial Presence. Bacteria and fungi can feed on organic material (encapsulants, conformal coatings, gaskets, thermoplastics, etc.). Some can release an acid which facilitates additional corrosion. The presence of these microbes can be identified by damp, slimy, and bad-smelling growths on the components in question. 8.5.5 Effects of Insect and Animal Presence. Insects and small animals can also feed on some organic compounds. In addition, they can build nests which will trap moisture. The presence of insects or animals can be identified by the presence of nests, holes in packaging, and excrement. 8.5.6 Inspection Procedures. This paragraph provides brief guidance with respect to corrosion inspections of communications electronics equipment. For more detailed information, see Chapter 9 of this manual. 8.5.6.1 General. Frequent corrosion inspections are essential to minimizing and treating corrosion damage to electronic equipment. Early detection minimizes the cost of repairing corrosion damage. 8-4
TO 1-1-700 8.5.6.2 Water Intrusion. Technicians should inspect the interior or shelters or enclosures frequently for evidence of water intrusion. Water intrusion will always lead to corrosion. Any evidence of water intrusion or corrosion should be reported so that the appropriate corrective action can be scheduled. The following steps can be used to locate the source of water intrusion: MIL-A-46146, ADHESIVE/SEALANT, SILICONE RTV, NON-CORROSIVE, GROUP I/II/III, TYPE I OR GROUP I, TYPE II 19 a. Verify installation of fasteners. Replace all damaged fasteners. b. Inspect form-in-place gaskets. Repair or replace as appropriate. c. Verify that all drains are open and operational. d. Prepare compartment with “witness material” such as blotter paper or paper towels. MIL-PRF-81733, SEALING AND COATING COMPOUND, CORROSION INHIBITIVE 48 i. If leaks are present, they are to be sealed with MIL-A- 46146 or MIL-PRF-81733. If the area is in contact with fluids (coolant, fuel, hydraulic oil), use MIL-PRF- 81733. e. Secure all external openings (doors, air intakes, etc.). f. If fresh water is available, apply water to the exterior of the shelter or enclosure for approximately 5 minutes. g. Allow 3 to 5 minutes for the water to drain. h. Open shelter and examine witness material for signs of water. MIL-PRF-81309, LUBRICANT, CORROSION PREVEN- TIVE COMPOUND 46 j. Apply MIL-PRF-81309 to fastener threads as appropriate. k. Repeat steps d through j until all leaks are located and eliminated. Table 8-2. Materials, Their Electronic Applications, and Corrosion Symptoms Material Typical Applications Corrosion Symptoms Iron and Steel Stainless Steel Aluminum Iron and steel are used for magnetic shields, component leads, transformer cores, brackets, racks, and general hardware. The iron or steel is usually plated with nickel, tin, or cadmium. Stainless steel is used for brackets, shelves, and mounting hardware. Stainless steel does not corrode in most situations. However, exposure to saltwater can cause pitting. Although stainless steel resists corrosion well, it is susceptible to crevice corrosion. Aluminum is used primarily for structural or housing purposes in electronics. When cleaning corrosion from metallic surfaces, it is essential to remove all corrosion product from adjacent structures. This is because corrosion products of other metals can be corrosive to aluminum. Corrosion on iron and steel is easily recognized because it produces red or black rust. The corrosion product of stainless steel is a roughened surface with a red, brown, or black stain. The corrosion product of aluminum is a white or grey powdery material. The presence of a painted coating is not an indicator that the metal is free of corrosion. Corrosion can occur under the topcoat, eventually causing blisters, flakes, chips, or bumps in the painted surface. 8-5
