Have you heard about forging?🤔 It is one of the oldest methods of metalworking and dates back to as early as 4000 BC.📅 Forging at its core is much the same; shaping metal with pressure and heat.🔥 Forged parts are preferred in high strength parts for high-stress situations. In the aircraft industry, forging is used to produce various critical components for landing gears, engines, wing structures, fuselage parts, and other structural elements.✈️ Aircraft engine, one of the most stressed parts of an aircraft, is a primary application for forging. Introduction of new aircraft programs, increasing investments in high-performance components are some of the major factors driving the growth Aircraft Forging market. 📈 By 2028, the Aircraft Forging market will reach a value of US$ 32 billion.📊 Interested to know more about the market dynamics of aircraft forging?

📢Spreading the Word!📢 Welding is not bonding! "Thermoplastic composite (TPC) welding has been a key topic for CW since the March 2006 feature, “Thermoplastic composites gain leading edge on the A380”. That article described GKN Fokker’s development of resistance welding for the Airbus A380 J-nose (inboard fixed leading edge of the wing). More than 15 year later, a significant amount of progress has been achieved in welded TPC structures (see “Thermoplastic composites welding advances …”). And yet, some debate continues about how such structures should be certified. No one debates that welded TPC structures must show test results validating the joint design, materials and process used as well as their ability to remain flightworthy during their service life. However, a welded TPC structure is not bonded, and thus, should not be certified as a bonded joint." 🤔 "This article discusses the definition of bonding versus welding, as well as efforts being made to advance certification of welded TPC structures, including the Hi-Rate Composite Aircraft Manufacturing (HiCAM) project, part of NASA’s Sustainable Flight National Partnership (SFNP) to enable 25-30% energy efficiency improvements in next-gen commercial transport aircraft." 🕵🏻♀️ #managingcomposites #thenativelab #welding

Aluminium is usually thought of as a "modern" metal, especially in its common use in aerospace. But aluminium's use dates back to the very dawn of powered flight. The Wright Flyer, the world's first working aeroplane, had an aluminium engine block that was custom-built in the Wright's bicycle shop. A similar engine was in the Wright Flyer III, which 119 years ago, on 5th October 1905 proved to be the first practical aeroplane. Lessons learned from their earlier experiments resulted in a larger and more durable plane. Three months after its first flight (and crash) and after significant rebuilding, the Flyer III managed a circular flight pattern for over 24 miles at an average speed of just under 40 miles per hour. A few years later, after further modifications, it became the first aeroplane to carry a passenger. The reason Wilbur and Orville used aluminium for their engine is the same reason it's still used today; it's much lighter than steel and much cheaper than titanium, and alloys of aluminium are strong enough to form vital structural components of aircraft. https://lnkd.in/eUrseG76
