Fretting or friction corrosion occurs when vibration or in-flight loads causes oscillatory movement between faying surfaces. A form of chemical corrosion will occur if incompatible surface coatings come in contact; for example methyl ethyl ketone [used as a solvent in a number of fabric cements] will attack zinc chromate metal primers leaving the metal open to corrosion under the fabric. 3, record 1, English, - fretting%20corrosion
