o be given to those materials, processing methods and protective treatments that reduce failures due to deterioration. Corrosion-prone locations shall be identified by either validation testing as specified in MIL-STD-810 Method 509.8, Procedures II and III or by CEA approved modeling processes. Validation testing shall include selected materials, assembly techniques, and corrosion protection schemes in relevant environments and in- service loadings. 4.4.2 Guided missiles and rocket systems. Since guided missiles, rockets, armament, and their components have relatively low maintenance and high reliability performance requirements, MIL-STD-186, in conjunction with MIL-STD-1568, shall be used to establish materials and process requirements to protect these weapons systems from deterioration

r EC-434-000-005 and Engineering Circular EC-434-000-004. C.3.4 Biobased material selection. On 12 September 2022, the President signed an Executive Order 14081 on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American Bioeconomy (Ref 1). This order requires all procuring agencies to establish a biobased procurement program, the intent being to increase the usage of biobased materials by 2025. Additional corrosion testing may be necessary, depending on the product and application, to ensure materials that appear to be chemically similar to legacy materials match or exceed the legacy materials’ corrosion prevention properties. Biobased alternatives to materials listed in MIL-STD-1568 include but are not limited to lubricants, coolants, coatings, elastomers

chloride salt solu- tions, hydrogen, and liquid metal, can take place at lower temperatures. 4.2.4.4 Under certain conditions, when in contact with cadmium, silver, mercury, or their compounds, titanium may become brittle. Refer to MIL-S-5002 and MIL-STD- 1568 for restrictions concerning applications with titanium when in contact with these metals or their compounds. 4.2.5 Magnesium. 4.2.5.1 General Information. 4.2.5.1.1 Magnesium is the world’s lightest structural metal. Like many other metals, this silvery-white element is not used in its pure state for stressed application. Instead, magnesium is alloyed with certain other metals (i.e., alumi- num, zinc, zirconium, manganese, thorium, and rare earth metals) to obtain the strong, lightweight alloys needed for structural uses. 4.2.5.1.2
