Future Landscape of Structural Materials in India
This book provides a perspective on the research, development, and manufacturing aspects of structural materials in India. The contents highlight materials to strengthen technology advancements in sectors like aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, health, and ICT. With the momentum of the ‘Make in India’ initiative, India has seen an increase in manufacturing of advanced components for these sectors. The vast field of materials covers a whole gamut including structural materials such as metals like steel, aluminum, titanium, polymers, glass, cement and composites; functional materials such photovoltaics, and smart materials are also discussed. This anthology focuses on structural mater...
Aluminum-Lithium Alloys
This chapter describes the development of crystallographic texture and its effects on mechanical properties in aluminum-lithium alloys. Crystallographic texture evolves during the forming of wrought products from cast ingots of Al-Li alloys and consequently affects the mechanical properties. Practical approaches to control the texture have been developed and have been successfully used in the products obtained from industrial-scale ingots. This texture tailoring has significantly reduced the yield strength anisotropy. In addition, theoretical approaches have been used to model the yield strength anisotropy of aluminum alloys in the presence of complex precipitates.
Aluminum-Lithium Alloys
Since the late 1950s, lithium is being used as an alloying element in aluminum. Their excellent ductility, which allows superplastic forming, along with their ability to decrease the density, makes aluminum-lithium alloys a primary choice for many structural applications in aerospace industry. This chapter initially discusses the processes and mechanisms that give rise to significant plasticity/Superplasticity in these alloy systems. The superplastic behavior of Al-Li alloys and their applications in forming are then discussed. The thickness variation during superplastic forming strongly depends on the peak strain rate sensitivity index (m) of the material, and an increase in the m value red...
New Horizons in Metallurgy, Materials and Manufacturing
This book presents an overview of the evolution and opportunities associated with traditional as well as upcoming fields in the areas of materials, metallurgy, and manufacturing. There are a lot of interesting fields at this trijunction, such as alloy design, bio-materials, composites, high entropy alloys, sensors, electronic materials, and materials degradation. The progress in these fields is further fuelled by the advances in the analysis and fabrication techniques such as correlative microscopy, additive manufacturing, and surface engineering. This book discusses the above topics/fields covering advanced analysis techniques, fabrication methods, and various technological applications. Ev...
Aluminum-Lithium Alloys
Airworthiness regulatory bodies are authorised and responsible for verifying and ensuring the safety and reliability of aircraft. There are many civil and military aviation organisations and regulatory bodies. The functions and responsibilities of several of these organizations are summarised in this chapter. Owing to the importance of aircraft structural fatigue, a survey of fatigue design philosophies is also given. This is followed by (i) a discussion of the airworthiness certification methodology for materials and structures, starting with the initial mill products and proceeding via incremental levels to the finished aircraft; and (ii) an example of material certification for an aluminium–lithium (Al-Li) alloy that is a candidate for use in the airframes of light combat aircraft (LCA).
Metallurgical Failure Analysis
