Structural strength of aluminum alloy plates for a new generation of aircraft

Journal Article · · Metal Science and Heat Treatment
OSTI ID:146933
Wrought high-strength aluminum alloys are and will remain in future decades the basic structural materials for aircraft. By prediction, refined aluminum alloys make up no less than 50% of the weight of the airframe. 8 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
