Corrosion Control
|
Due to the wide variety of environmental conditions
that passenger transit rail vehicles frequently
operated in, corrosion control is the major importance
in maintaining the structural integrity of the vehicle.
The following documents provide guidelines and
direction for the design and assembly of vehicles that
will preclude unnecessary corrosion.

| Standard: |
UMTA-DC-06-0152-83-1 - A Corrosion Control Manual for Rail Rapid Transit
| | Purpose: |
The objective of the manual is to aid rail rapid
transit agencies by providing practical solutions
to selected corrosion problems. The scope of the
manual encompasses corrosion problems of the
facilities of rapid transit systems: structures and
tracks, platforms and stations, power and signals,
and cars. It also discusses stray electric current
corrosion. Both design and maintenance solutions
are provided for each problem. Also included are
descriptions of the types of corrosion and their
causes, descriptions of rapid transit properties, a
list of corrosion control committees and NASA, DOD,
and ASTM specifications of reports and a glossary
of frequently used terms are provided.

MIL-STD-889 - Dissimilar Metals
| | Purpose: |
This standard defines and classifies dissimilar
metals, and establishes requirements for protecting
coupled dissimilar metals, with attention directed
to the anodic member of the couple, against
corrosion.

SAE J447 - Prevention of
Corrosion of Motor Vehicle Body and Chassis
Components
| | Purpose: |
This report covers corrosion preventive methods
commonly used for both ferrous and non-ferrous
metals. The standard is based upon the automotive
industry but has many applications applicable to
passenger transit rail vehicles.
