Characterization of the Structure and Properties of Various Metallic and Nonmetallic Materials.
Abstract
*The research covered herein was performed to (1) Establish the microstructures and intrinsic properties characteristic of materials with enhanced use performance and the capability of reliably and predictably retaining this performance in aerospace systems applications, and (2) Obtain information about microstructural and property parameters associated with the achievement of improvements in structural strength and stability through the characterization of materials from AFML in-house investigations. The principal techniques employed in this characterization included optical, electron and scanning electron microscopy, x-ray analysis, electron microprobe analysis and numerous physical test methods. Sample preparation, including forming, heat treatment, grinding, polishing and etching, was required and represented a substantial part of the effort. Much of the program was directed toward the study of the structure and properties of titanium and aluminum alloys. (Author)
