Indonesia Conference Directory

Indonesia as one of the archipelagic countries with 16,055 islands and has been registered with the United Nations through the United Nations Conference on The Standardization of Geographical Names (UNCSGN) and United Nations Groups of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) certainly requires transportation facilities that can reach all areas of the country. The most efficient and effective mode of transportation to reach all the islands in Indonesia is aircraft. Along with the increasing number of users it will increase the number of requests in the level of comfort and safety of passengers, one of which is in the feasibility of an aircraft. The fuselage as one of the components of an open airplane will easily corrode. Where corrosion in the fuselage is a significant problem for commercial and military aircraft. This study aim to study the corrosion rate of aircraft metal components in the fuselage against pH variations. pH variations in this study were 3.4; 3.8; 4.4; 4.8; 5.4; 5.8; 6.1; 7.5; and 12 at fixed temperature of 30℃. This research method uses the weight loss method of aircraft metal components that are measured once every 1hour. The results of this study conclude that the corrosion rate of MD 80 type metal component in the fuselage section at a fixed temperature of 30℃ in a span of 12 hours showed less significant results. This might be due to the corrosion rate of metal components of airplanes running very slowly, so that in the span of 12 hours still not showing significant results.
