Abstract

Ground vehicles are operated in severe environments at the risk of corrosion. The corrosion would degrade military readiness and cause a large amount of cost. This paper describes some engineering practices of corrosion prevention for ground vehicles based on results of the environmental test and field operation from previous products and similar ones. The influence of environmental factors on the corrosion of ground vehicles is analyzed. And then some corrosion control methods proven by engineering practices are introduced. These practices could enhance the operational readiness and reduce unquantifiable lifecycle maintenance costs of ground vehicles.
