Aluminum Alloy Forgings Property/Performance Attributes; Focus: Fatigue and Durability Service Capabilities (les Pieces forgees en alliage d'aluminium les attributs de performance/caracteristiques themes: fatigue et durabilite capacites en service)

Abstract

Historically, many aluminum aircraft components have been made from forgings. However, to reduce airframe manufacturing cost aircraft manufacturers are converting to parts machined from thick plate. The results of recent research indicates that forgings often offer significant advantages over components machined from plate. The purpose of this report is to present this information.
