| Summary |
This book reviews the main structural and engine materials used in aircraft, helicopters and spacecraft in terms of their production, properties, performance and applications. It focuses on recent developments and requirements, discusses the properties and production of metals for aerospace structures, and looks in depth at individual metals including aluminium, titanium, magnesium, steel and superalloys. With its comprehensive coverage of the main issues surrounding structural aerospace materials, it is essential reading for undergraduate students studying aerospace and aeronautical engineering and will also be a valuable resource for postgraduate students and practicing aerospace engineers. -- Edited summary from book. |
