Periodic Reporting for period 3 - U-CROSS (Early detection and progress monitoring and prediction of corrosion in aeronautic Al alloys through calibrated Ultrasonic CorROSion Sensors application)

The need of reducing aircraft weight, to in turn decrease fuel consumption, is pushing the aerospace industry to incorporate light materials, such as Aluminium alloys. One of the main drawbacks of Al alloys, which is limiting its greater use, is that they are sensitive to...
