Abstract :
A stringer is a thin strip material fastened on the plane?s skin which
functions to transfer aerodynamic weight that works on the skin to the frame. It
usually does not attach to anything except the skin where the a part of the plane?s
flexible moment flows through axial weight. In corrosion cases on fuselage L/H
27 and FS 947 a stringer is located right under the cargo, where that position is
susceptible towards breakdown due to the pressure received, wet and humid
condition making a damage towards the stringer in the form of corrosion, crack
and other. Therefore, research and testing on the effect of weight to the corrosion
are required to identify the value of weight effect to the corrosion on the stringer.
The material used was aluminium 7075-T6. The material was cut in the
width of 1,3 cm and length of 15 cm and was given a variety of pull force for
6000 N, 6500 N and 7000 N and a micro structure test and corrosion velocity test
were done on a speciment with a diameter of 1,2 cm.
Based on the data, it was identified that there was an increase in hardness
due to the strain hardening which occured on 6000 N weight and 6500 N weight .
On the 7000 N weight the corrosion value was 1,160 mpy. In conclusion, the
greater the strain, the higher the corrosion velocity occured.
