The alloys of titanium utilised in industrial applications have compositional specifications tabulated by ASTM. The ASTM specification number is given in Table 14 for the commercially important alloys. MiUtary specifications are found under MIL-T-9046 and MIL-T-9047, and aerospace material specifications for bar, sheet, tubing, and wine under specification numbers 4900—4980. Every large aircraft company has its own set of alloy specifications. 

Resins used in advanced or high performance composites, which contain more than 50 wt % reinforcing agent and are the typical aerospace materials.

Polyimides are high-performance polymers, mainly used as films and as substrates for flexible printed circuits, bar code labels, and transformer and capacitor insulation. The rigid structure is responsible for a Tg greater than 300 °C. Since Kapton is flexible, lightweight and withstands very low and very high temperatures, it is an important aerospace material. Potential uses include as a thin film absorber for solar cells114. 

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. 

SAE Standards. Society of Automotive Engineers standards cover specifications for highway and off-road vehicles Some SAE specifications may be used in chemical plant and refinery applications, e.g., bearing materials. SAE also administers the Aerospace Materials Specifications (AMS), which include procurement requirements for extreme quality aerospace materials. AMS products may be applicable for land based, highly stressed critical components such as reciprocating compressor shafts.

Metalhc hthium has a variety of uses. It is used as an anode material in batteries and as a heat transfer agent. Magnesium-hthium alloys are used to produce armor plate and aerospace materials, while aluminum-hthium alloys find applications in the aircraft industry. Lithium is also used to produce chemical reagents such as LiAlH4 (a reducing agent) and n-butyhthium (a strong base). 

For carbon fiber systems, there is some loss of fiber with the resin burnoff method, so an alternative method based on chemical digestion, ISO/DIS 14,127 [13], has been developed. This standard also includes void fraction determination, but for high-quality aerospace materials, where the voidage is less than l%, the method is not sufficiently accurate. However, a voidage level of less than l% is generally acceptable and need not be measured.
