Aerospace Materials - 535.639

Aircraft materials have a come a long way from the early days of bamboo, muslin and bailing wire, and this course will accentuate processing-structure-property-performance relations is a variety of metallic alloys, ceramics and composites. Materials with applications in aeronautics, space and hypersonics will be emphasized, and topics will include: Al and Ti alloys, Co and Ni- based superalloys, refractory alloys; ceramic, metal and polymer-based composites; thermal protections systems; and dielectric windows and radomes.
