Cast Aluminum Structures Technology (CAST). Phase II. Manufacturing Methods.

Abstract

The objective of CAST is to establish the necessary structural and manufacturing technologies and to demonstrate and validate the integrity, producibility, and viability of cast aluminum primary airframe structures. The necessary casting foundry practices and related manufacturing technologies needed to cast aluminum primary structural components are discussed in this report. This effort involved extensive characterization of each step of the casting process to define acceptable limits of the process parameters. (Author)
