Liner for mounting socket of magnesium housing of aircraft engine

An assembly useful for mounting an engine to an aircraft structure, the assembly comprising:

• a body configured to be secured to the engine, the body being made of a magnesium-based material and defining a socket formed therein;
• and
• a liner disposed in the socket for receiving and interfacing with an engine mounting element of the aircraft, the liner comprising a peripheral side wall and a bottom wall having an outer periphery in sealing engagement with a lower portion of the peripheral side wall, the liner being made of a liner material that provides a galvanic potential between the liner material and a material of the engine mounting element that is lower than a galvanic potential between the magnesium-based material of the body and the material of the engine mounting element.

A method of manufacturing a housing of an aircraft engine where the housing is configured to interface with an engine mounting element of an aircraft, the method comprising:

• receiving a housing body made of a magnesium-based material, the housing body defining a mounting pad comprising a socket;
• and
• inserting a liner in the socket of the mounting pad for receiving and interfacing with the engine mounting element of the aircraft, the liner comprising a peripheral side wall and a bottom wall having an outer periphery in sealing engagement with a lower portion of the peripheral side wall.
