Physical Property Significances for Aerospace Structural Materials

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Aerospace Materials and Material Technologies

Part of the book series: Indian Institute of Metals Series ((IIMS))

Abstract

This chapter summarises the significances of material density, elastic modulus, thermal expansion coefficient and thermal conductivity for the selection and use of some aerospace structural materials. The summary focusses on airframe materials, but thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are also considered.
