B— commercially pure aluminum, and the surface material is heat-treated aluminum alloy. C— strain-hardened aluminum alloy, and the surface material is commercially pure aluminum. Alclad 2024-T4 is a type of sheet metal that has a core of 2024-T4 solution-heat-treated aluminum alloy.

A— Case hardening. B— Annealing. C— Tempering. Which heat-treating process of metal produces a hard, wear-resistant surface over a strong, tough core? A— Case hardening. B— Annealing. C— Tempering. Case hardening is a heat treatment process for steel in which the surface is hardened to make it wear resistant, but the inside of the metal remains strong and tough. Annealing is a heat treatment process for either ferrous or nonferrous metal that makes the metal softer. Tempering is a method of heat treatment in which some of the hardness is removed from a hardened metal. Removing some of the hardness makes the metal less brittle. Normalizing is a process of heat treating A— aluminum alloys only. B— iron-base metals only. C— both aluminum alloys and iron-base metals. Normalizing is a process of heat treating A— aluminum alloys only. B— iron-base metals only. C— both aluminum alloys and iron-base metals. Normalizing is a heat treating process in which an iron base metal is heated to a temperature above its critical temperature and allowed to cool in still air. Normalizing reduces the stresses in the metal that were put there by the fabrication process. CLEANING AND CORROSION CONTROL A primary cause of intergranular corrosion is A— improper heat treatment. B— dissimilar metal contact. C— improper application of primer. A primary cause of intergranular corrosion is A— improper heat treatment. B— dissimilar metal contact. C— improper application of primer. One of the primary causes for intergranular corrosion is improper heat treatment. If there is a delay in the time between the removal of a metal part from the heat treatment oven and the time the part is quenched, the grains of the metal have an opportunity to grow large enough that an electrical potential exists across the grain boundaries. This potential within the metal causes the formation of intergranular corrosion. Intergranular corrosion in aluminum alloy parts A— may be detected by surface pitting, and white, powdery deposit formed on the surface of the metal. B— commonly appears as threadlike filaments of corrosion products under a dense film of paint. C— cannot always be detected by surface indications. Intergranular corrosion in aluminum alloy parts A— may be detected by surface pitting, and white, powdery deposit formed on the surface of the metal. B— commonly appears as threadlike filaments of corrosion products under a dense film of paint. C— cannot always be detected by surface indications. Intergranular corrosion forms along the grain boundaries within an aluminum alloy. Since this type of corrosion does not necessarily extend all the way to the surface of the metal in its early stages, it is quite possible for intergranular corrosion to reach an advanced state before it shows up on the surface. Corrosion caused by galvanic action is the result of A— excessive anodization. B— contact between two unlike metals. C— excessive etching Corrosion caused by galvanic action is the result of A— excessive anodization. B— contact between two unlike metals. C— excessive etching Galvanic corrosion is caused by an electrolytic action that takes place when two metals that have a different place in the galvanic scale are in contact with each other and are covered with an electrolyte. The more anodic of the metals reacts with the electrolyte and some of it changes into salts (it corrodes). Fretting corrosion is most likely to occur A— when two surfaces fit tightly together but can move relative to one another. B— only when two dissimilar metals are in contact. C— when two surfaces fit loosely together and can move relative to one another. Fretting corrosion is most likely to occur A— when two surfaces fit tightly together but can move relative to one another. B— only when two dissimilar metals are in contact. C— when two surfaces fit loosely together and can move relative to one another. Fretting corrosion is a form of corrosion that forms between closely fitting assembled parts that have a slight amount of relative motion. When sheets of aluminum alloy are riveted together, there should be no relative motion between the sheets or between the sheets and the rivets. But if there is a slight bit of movement, the protective oxide coating will be rubbed off of the metal and a new oxide coating will form. The material that has been rubbed off acts as an abrasive and accelerates the wear. The rust or corrosion that occurs with most metals is the result of A— a tendency for them to return to their natural state. B— blocking the flow of electrons in homogenous metals, or between dissimilar metals. C— electron flow in or between metals from cathodic to anodic areas. The rust or corrosion that occurs with most metals is the result of A— a tendency for them to return to their natural state. B— blocking the flow of electrons in homogenous metals, or between dissimilar metals. C— electron flow in or between metals from cathodic to anodic areas. Corrosion is a natural phenomenon which attacks metal by chemical or electrochemical action and converts it into a metallic compound, such as an oxide, hydroxide, or sulfate. Corrosion occurs because of the tendency for metals to return to their natural state. Noble metals like gold and platinum do not corrode since they are chemically uncombined in their natural state. Intergranular Corrosion Fretting Corrosion HOW ARE YOUR HEADS? 10 MINUTE BREAK UP SESSION WEIGHT AND BALANCE ` The useful load of an aircraft consists of the A— crew, usable fuel, passengers, and cargo.

A— By picking up the “noise” of any deterioration that may be present. B— By analyzing ultrasonic signals transmitted into the parts being inspected. C— By creating sonogram pictures of the areas being inspected. Acoustic emission monitoring is a method of inspecting composite materials for the presence of active corrosion. A sensitive microphone and amplifier are used with the microphone held against the surface being inspected. If corrosion is present the noise caused by the bubbles generated by the corrosion activity will be heard as a hissing sound. When the panel is heated to about 150°F the noise caused by disbonding of the adhesive will be heard as a crackling sound. When inspecting a composite panel using the ring test/tapping method, a dull thud may indicate A— less than full strength curing of the matrix. B— separation of the laminates. C— an area of too much matrix between fiber layers. When inspecting a composite panel using the ring test/tapping method, a dull thud may indicate A— less than full strength curing of the matrix. B— separation of the laminates. C— an area of too much matrix between fiber layers. When using the ring test/tapping method of inspecting a composite panel, a solid ringing sound usually indicates a sound material, but a dull thud may indicate a separation of the laminates, and the material should be examined more closely. When comparing the machining techniques for stainless steel sheet material to those for aluminum alloy sheet, it is normally considered good practice to drill the stainless steel at a A— higher speed with less pressure applied to the drill.

C— G-glass. There are two types of glass fibers used in aircraft composite structure: E glass and S glass. E, or electrical glass, has a high resistivity and is designed primarily for electrical insulation. Its low cost makes it the more widely used type of glass where high strength is not required S, or structural glass, has a high tensile strength and is used for critical structural applications. What method is used to detect the thermal discharge of a built-in fire-extinguisher system?

B— inflating door seals and recirculating conditioned cabin air. C— controlling the rate at which air leaves the cabin. Cabin pressure of an aircraft in flight is controlled by controlling the rate at which the air is allowed to leave the cabin. The pressurization air source supplies more air than is needed for the proper cabin pressure, and the cabin altitude controller controls the outflow valves that regulate the amount of air that leaves the cabin. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!
