1. Light alloys
1.1 Aluminum alloys
Light aluminum alloys are mainly used in the aerospace industry. They account for some 70% of the materials used in the manufacture of civil aircraft.
Their essential qualities are :
low density ;
high electrical and thermal conductivity;
good corrosion resistance ;
good aptitude for hot and cold forming;
good behaviour at low temperatures without risk of embrittlement;
great curing potential;
very low toxicity;
remarkable suitability for all kinds of surface...
