Advanced Manufacturing Techniques in Joining of Aerospace Materials.

Abstract

Advanced aerospace structures depend to a large extent on new joining techniques. The highest possible material strength to weight ratio is an important demand. Advanced light materials such as titanium alloys or plastic matrix composites are the answer as well as improved welding and adhesive bonding processes. Often the selection of the optimum joining technology is the prior condition for success in introducing advanced structural components in the aircraft industry. The Lecture Series presents improved or new, cost-effective welding methods for joints of high integrity and properties close to the parent metal. Progress in joining composites is discussed based on modern design principles. The Lecture Series was sponsored by the Structures and Materials Panel, and organised by the Consultant and Exchange Programme of AGARD. (Author)
