AEROSPACE MATERIALS.
NEED OF AEROSPACE INDUSTRY:-
1. Ground.
2. Take-off (important phase for civil aircrafts).
3. Cruise ( for civil liners) & operational (for
military- important phase for military
aircrafts).
4. Landing.
Significant Parts Of
Aircraft Structure:
1. Wings
2. Fuselage Or Hull
3. Landing Gear
4. Moving Operational Parts
5. Control Surfaces ( Flaps , Rudder , Elevators ,
Ailerons )
Loads On The Wings:
1. Self weight
2. Weight of fuel stored inside them
3. Weight of engines .
Stresses on the wings:
Plane is –
On the ground –wings bends downwards;
Upper wing surface in tension
lower wing surface in compression
Stresses
They are lightly loaded so less stress is on them
Material properties –
Generally lightly loaded so static strength is not
major requirement
Temperature resistance
Good resistance to high cycle fatigue
Materials for aircraft
structures-
1. Wood
2. Magnesium alloy
3. Steel
4. Aluminium alloy
5. Titanium alloys
6. Polymer matrix composites
Magnesium Alloys
Magnalium :-
Magnalium refers to an. aluminium with 5-50%magnesium. Trace
amounts of other are added to improve hardness.
Properties
1. Low densityAlloys with smaller amounts of magnesium (about 5%)
exhibit greater strength,
2. greater corrosion resistance, and
3. Such alloys are also more workable and easier to weld than pure
aluminium.
4. Alloys with high amounts of magnesium (around 50%) are brittle and
more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium.
Uses :-
Although they are generally more expensive than aluminium,use in
aircraft.
Steels
Properties
1. High density nearly 20 times of plywood
2. To minimize weight sections should be thin
3. For necessary stiffness spars had to be tubular &
complex cross section to resist buckling
4. For skins steel should be corrosion resistance &
best formability
Aluminium Alloys
Applications:
aircraft structural components,
aircraft fittings,
hardware, truck wheels and parts for the transportation
industry, and other miscellaneous structural applications.
7XXX alloys
Properties
one of the highest strength aluminum alloys
Its strength-to weight ratio is excellent and
it is ideally used for highly stressed parts.
It may be formed in the annealed condition and
subsequently heat treated
with good fatigue strength and average
machinability,
Apllications
7075 is widely used for construction of aircraft
structures, such as wings and fuselages.
Titanium alloys-
Properties-
To develop high strength to weight ratio
Maintain their properties at elevated temperatures
α or near α alloys posses adequate creep resistance in
high temp. use
High strength metastable beta alloy is capable of
strength in excess of 1500MPa
α , β alloys can be joined by electro beam welding which
produces high quality joints
Titanium α-β alloys are heat-treatable. They may be
significantly strengthened by precipitation hardening
Ti-6Al-4V is the most popular Titanium α-β Alloy –
Its total production is about half of all titanium alloys.
Aluminum (Al) is added to the alloy as α-phase
stabilizer and hardener due its solution strengthening
effect. Vanadium (V) stabilizes ductile β-phase,
Titanium α-β Alloys have
high tensile strength and fatigue strength,
good hot formability and creep resistance up to 570ºF
- 800ºF (300ºC - 425ºC).
Titanium α-β Alloys are used for
manufacturing
steam turbine blades,
gas and chemical pumps,
airframes and jet engine parts,
pressure vessels,
blades and discs of aircraft turbines,
aircraft hydraulic tubing,
rocket motor cases, cryogenic parts, marine
components.
