Castings Airworthiness

Abstract

The AGARD Structures and Materials Panel held a Workshop on Castings Airworthiness in Mierlo, Netherlands in the Fall of 1988 to consider whether a casting factor, as such need still be applied to premium quality castings given the improvements in casting technology obtained in recent years. A first series of papers addressing this question was presented by airworthiness officials, both military and civil, of the NATO nations. In a second, series aircraft designers reported on their experience with the introduction of premium castings in aircraft constructions. A third series of papers allowed casting technologists to present the current state of the art with respect to casting technology and to challenge the continued application of a casting factor. A final session provided a forum for representatives from the different parties involved to assess the situation as presented by the previous speakers.
