Aluminum Alloys - an overview
Aluminum alloys have been the dominant materials used for airframe structures until the increasing trend in the use of polymer–matrix composites, as shown in Table 4.1 [1,2].The Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 are built with about 50% of these materials, which are lighter than aluminum alloys and possess better resistance to degradation by corrosion and fatigue.
