Abstract:
World is fighting Covid-19 pandemic since beginning of the year 2020. To prevent spread of Covid-19 disease, sanitization of workplaces using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) disinfectant is one of the several precautionary steps that are followed currently. In this letter, I share an experience wherein regular spraying of NaOCl solution in metal forming section of an organization led to development of corrosion damage and rejection of a large number of aircraft structural components made of Al-2024 alloy sheet material.
