本SAE航空航天信息报告（AIR）应仅限于关于镀银导体的特定腐蚀机制的信息，该镀银导体会产生亚铜/氧化铜沉积物（红色瘟疫）。它研究了一些可能的原因和一些建议，以尽量减少其发生的可能性。它还提供了大量详细描述腐蚀的参考文件、确定导体损坏的方法、产生腐蚀的方法，以及关于这种现象的其他调查报告及其结论。

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) shall be limited to information about a specific corrosion mechanism of silver-plated conductors that produces cuprous/cupric oxide deposits (Red Plague). It examines some possible causes and some recommendations to minimize the possibility of its occurrence. It also provides a number of reference documents that describe the corrosion in detail, methods to determine conductor damage, methods to produce the corrosion, and other investigative reports of this phenomena and their conclusions.
