Abstract
Condensed moisture from ingressed humid air was responsible for inducing corrosion within the aft radar antenna from an RAAF P-3C Orion maritime surveillance aircraft.

The moisture also induced corrosion of some of the AA-6061 aluminium alloy waveguides. An investigation determined that moisture ingress...
