IA and its members have a long history in minimizing the use of hexavalent chromium in the manufacture of its products. Included in that history are the results of over 25 years of
working with DoD engineering professionals through a variety of projects to test hexavalent chromium product replacements. Hexavalent chromium test data have been shared among companies within the industry since the early 1980s. Success in replacement use occurred for some sealant, primer, and plating applications. The industry continues to evaluate replacements for conversion coating, anodizing, descaling, passivation plating, cleaning and many other process and materials applications. Through the many individual company and joint research and testing programs, AIA members learned that the development and implementation of hexavalent chromium replacement compounds is exceptionally complex. Certification and qualification testing continues for many applications due to unique customer or weapon system requirements. Implementation of replacements are often hindered by cost and technical risks to a product’s other system requirements. With increasing regulatory and public pressure to further reduce hexavalent chromium usage, the aerospace industry continues to seek alternatives.

Brief History of Chromium
3rd century BC: Bronze tipped weapons found near Xian,China• Not Corroded• Analysis: Chromium coating
1761: Lehmann found an orange-red mineral in the Ural Mountains• Named it: Siberian red lead. • Chemically: lead chromate • Popularly Known: mineral crocoite
1797-8: Vauquelin received samples of crocoite ore• PbCrO4 + hydrochloric acid (HCl) chromium oxide CrO3• Isolated Metallic Chromium: CrO3 + Heat Cr
1800: Tassaert found chromium in an ore: chromite (PbCrO4)• Lead Chromate: Today a major source of chromium.
1800's:Usage: Component: paints and tanning saltsToday: Usage:85-95%: metal alloys (aerospace,automotive)
5-15 % : chemical, refractory & foundry industries.

Why is Hex. Chrome Used Today?
• High performance anti-corrosive• Moisture Barrier• Components must withstand:
– Extreme temperature– Altitudes
• Atmospheric and Temperature Changes• Repeated Take-off and Landings
– Repeated Speed and acceleration changes
