Aluminium Alloys in Space Applications: A Short Report

Because of the unique combination light weight, high strength, and ease fabrication, aluminum alloys have mainstay aerospace industry. This report provides a brief overview types series “AA” used for space industries applications such as spacecraft surface structures both aircraft construction satellite subsystems. The alloy compositions, manufacturing processes, treatment classify properties characteristics. According to these characteristics outlines how identify suitable optimum one meet specific application needs mission requirements. Also, clarifies can be improved by tailoring composition through addition some alloying elements, which considerably are useful refine microstructure, thus improving mechanical properties. Different AA 2XXX, 5XXX, 6XXX, AA7XXX outlined. discussion is performed give view point on with emphasis type AA6061, example, heat T6 “AA6061-T6” that significantly more satellite’ structures.
