Aerospace materials are structural materials that are used in aerospace applications. They are often metal alloys, but can also include polymeric based materials. Aerospace materials are subject to strict regulations to ensure their reliability and durability. Aerospace materials can be broadly classified into four classes: Metallic materials Non-metallic or polymeric materials Composite materials Ceramic materials Some common materials used in aerospace design include: High-strength composites Alloys of titanium, aluminum, and steel Titanium based alloys Aluminum based...

Aerospace materials can be broadly classified into four classes: Metallic materials Non-metallic or polymeric materials Composite materials Ceramic materials Some common materials used in aerospace design include: High-strength composites Alloys of titanium, aluminum, and steel Titanium based alloys Aluminum based alloys Magnesium based alloys Ferrous alloys Aerospace materials are often expensive to manufacture and process. They often require superior performance, strength, and heat resistance. Aerospace materials testing involves quantifying properties such as: Fatigue, Fracture, Compression, Impact resistance, Tensile properties, Compressive properties, Flexural properties, Bearing strength, Shear strength.
