U.S. EXPERTS WORK FOR STRONGER WING WASHINGTON, July 19. — Pa- itent work at the Bureau of Stand- ards is gradually evolving a solu- tion for the problem of aluminum corrosion which may greatly in- crease the utility of aircraft. Airplane wings constructed of “doped” cloth stretched over wood- en frames are fragile things. To the layman, it has long seemed that the strength and durability of the wings would be greater il the frames were made of steel or some aluminum alloy. The possibilities of metal wings, however, have been greatly r stricted by the disposition of the complex alloys to correde and ruin the expensive fabrics even more rapidly than the conditions of op- eration have worn out the tloth and wooden structures, ' The bureau workers, aided by industrial laboratory experts and equipment, have been seeking a solution of the metal difficulties for some time. They have determ- ined that, if duraluminum, one of the aluminum alloys of sufficient lightness and strength for plare wings, is coated with pure alumi- num by a metal spray process, it can stand even salt water ex- posure for a year without deterio- ration. Some experts are hopeful that by adding a corrosion resistant to the material through special treatl- ment of the alloy during prepai- ration and by coating it after- wards it will be possible to pro- MAITLAND AND - HEGENBERGER California - Hawaii Fliers Are to Be Honored in Home Towns.
