Course Objective

The rapidly-expanding aerospace industry is a prime developer and user of advanced metallic and composite materials in its many products. This course concentrates on the manufacturing technology necessary to fabricate and assemble these materials into useful and effective structural components. Detailed chapters are dedicated to each key metal or alloy used in the industry, including aluminum, magnesium, beryllium, titanium, high strength steels, and super alloys. In addition this course deals with composites, adhesive bonding and presents the essentials of structural assembly.
This course will be an important resource for all those involved in aerospace design and construction, materials science and engineering, as well as for metallurgists and those working in related sectors such as the automotive and mass transport industries. Besides, each student will be asked to give a seminar on the covered subjects from the recent papers in the literature and their evaluations will affect the success of the student. During the course impact of the covered items on the economy, environment and health will be discussed.
