Study Notes
Material Properties
- Hardness is the property of a material that refers to its ability to resist abrasion, penetration, and cutting action.
Metal Characteristics
- Titanium is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, making it desirable for aircraft metals, particularly due to its ability to withstand tearing or shearing.
Elasticity
- Elasticity is the property that allows a metal to return to its original size and shape after being deformed.
Metals
- Copper is a widely distributed metal, characterized by its reddish color.
Steel Types
- Mild steel contains carbon ranging from 0.10% to 0.30%.
Alloy Properties
- Aluminum alloy is suitable for casting and may be shaped by rolling.
This quiz covers properties of aluminum alloy used in aircraft components like cowl ring, fuselage, wings, and more. Test your knowledge on hardness, strength, density, and other important considerations for maintaining proper weight and balance of an aircraft.
