Aerospace alloys substrate

This mechanism has been clearly identified in the case of the durability of aluminium-alloy joints. One example [10] is that of aluminium-alloy joints bonded using an aerospace epoxy-film adhesive where the aluminium-alloy substrate was subjected to a phosphoric-acid anodising (PAA) surface treatment, but where the primer (which is normally used in such an adhesive system) was omitted.

Heat resistant and chemically resistant coating materials are attractive for applications in the automotive, aircraft and other industries. Guerriero et al. (2011) reported that coatings made of liquid crystal thermosetting polymers (LCT) showed markedly increased interface adhesion between LCT and an aluminum alloy substrate. Compared to a commercial LCP the LCT possessed higher hardness and stiffness, and this was favorable for their wear resistance. They concluded that LCTs have potential to serve as protective coatings for aerospace applications. 

Some examples of applications of neutron and synchrotron radiation diffraction applied to the determination of residual stresses in various industrial and technological components have been presented. The reliability of the technique has been shown, being able to determine residual stresses induced by various thermomechanical treatments, such as shrink-fit joints, welds and surface treatments in automotive and aerospace materials. It has been shown how, by this method, it is possible to determine stresses both in the coating and in the substrate of plasma-spray deposed hydroxyapatite layers on Ti alloy for biomedical applications. 

Thus, substrates such as aluminium and its alloys, alloys of titanium, low- and high-carbon steels, nickel, copper, fibre-reinforced plastics (containing both thermoplastic and thermosetting matrices - in the latter case, the matrix might well also be a formnlated epoxy-based system), glass, concrete and wood are all encountered. This means that they can be, and indeed are, widely used in construction, aerospace, automotive (both original equipment and aftermarket), electrical and electronics, furnimre, foundry, consumer and abrasives applications. 

Abstract. This chapter is concerned with an in-depth examination of the adherend surface pretreatments used prior to structural adhesive bonding. It encompasses the various substrates encountered, particularly but not exclusively, in the aerospace industry. It compares and contrasts mechanical, chemical and electrochemical methods used for substrates comprising aluminium alloys, titanium, stainless steel, thermoplastic and thermoset fibre reinforced composites and non-metallic honeycomb. Scanning and transmission electron microscope techniques are used to analyse and characterise many of the pretreated surfaces so produced. 

The principles of surface pretreatment are now well understood and methods have been developed for each type of substrate encountered in aerospace construction wood, aluminium alloys, titanium alloys, stainless steel, thermoplastic composites, thermosetting composites and non-metallic honeycombs. 

Occasionally, aerospace applications utilise commercially pure titanium hut the most commonly encountered substrate is an alloy of titanium which is designated Ti 6A14V that contains 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium. 

Study of membrane extraction processes is a matter of primary importance for intensive development of separation and concentration methods of different nature substrates, especially such valuable ones as rare and scattered metals. The imique properties of rare earth metals (REM) allow using them in different realms of modem science and technology when making selective catalysts, magnets (samarium and neodymium), optical systems, luminophors, and ceramic capacitors. REMs are used in metallurgy for production of special cast iron grades, steel, and nonferrous metals alloys. REM additives increase quality of metallurgical products improve their properties, particularly shock resistance, viscosity, and corrosion resistance. Such materials are used primarily in aerospace industry. Extraction of REM from minerals is a complex process.
