Swigart said that research started in 1988, when Alcoa and Wright engineers were looking primarily for an
alloy with "corrosion resistance and no degradation in mechanical properties" that could replace aluminum alloys already used in aircraft.
Kickoff
It was expected that the
alloy with high nickel content would show better corrosion resistance due to the formation of thicker oxides on the surface of the alloy protects it from being easily corroded.
