Abstract :
This paper discusses a method of protecting aluminum alloy structure and instrument housings against corrosion. The abrasion-resisting qualities of hardcoat anodize are considered and the advantages of sealing the hardcoat with paint are stated. It is concluded that a hardcoat/paint combination offers a good temporary protection.
