Advanced Magnesium Corrosion Protection

ARMY RESEARCH OFFICE

Applications

  • Military and Commercial Significance:
  • The primary benefit of this system is the elimination of hexavalent chromium (a known carcinogen) from the magnesium repair scheme. The Brush Tagnite coating also gives the magnesium drive train component enhanced galvanic corrosion protection.
  • Although specifically designed for use on military rotorcraft, this technology can easily be adapted to military and civilian fixed wing aircraft and civilian rotorcraft. The automotive industry uses 90% of the magnesium produced and this technology can be used in all types of automotive applications.
