Materials used for aircraft construction

Introduction


Aircraft metal constructing is similar to the other motor vehicle manufacturing used materials, the main difference in between the vehicle run in land (Vehicles in land move due to friction between the solid body and the movable body i.e. Tyre) and space are the weight. Because most of the metals like steel give good strength at the same time low cost but that all are heavy weight metals. Notable one during aircraft construction is weight reduction, mainly structure have the maximum load. So that the metals used in construction of structure is plays important roll.

Mostly construction of aircraft is taken by alloy (கலவை) metals which combination was varying with the place where it is covered in aircraft. Because of the various loads are act in different places so that the metal presence also needed like its character vise. 


Metals


The most common metals used in aircraft construction are aluminum (அலுமினியம்), magnesium (மெக்னீசியம்), titanium (டைட்டானியம்), steel (எஃகு), and their alloys. An alloy is composed of two or more metals. The metal present in the alloy in the largest amount is called the base metal. All other metals added to the base metal are called alloying elements.





Note: Early aircraft in 1903 wright flyer built the aircraft with wood and fabric. The frame of the Wright Flyer was made from spruce and ash and many surfaces were covered with muslin, a fabric.
