AIRCRAFT MATERIALS
1. Basic requirements
• High strength and stiffness
• Low density
=> high specific properties e.g. strength/density, yield strength/density,
E/density
• High corrossion resistance
• Fatigue resistance and damage tolerance
• Good technology properties (formability, machinability, weldability)
• Special aerospace standards and specifications

A letter ahead of designation marks alloys with the same content of main alloying
elements but with different content of impurities or micro alloying
elements.(e.g. 201 - A201, 356 - A356, 357 - A357)
Additional digit .0 means shape casting, digit .1 or .2 ingots
Typical castings in aircraft structures
Mechanical properties are mostly lower comparing wrought alloys of the similar
chemical composition
High quality aircraft casting need careful metallurgical processing of liquid metal
