With the development of manned spaceflight and deep space exploration, TC4 alloy has been used for the structure design of aircraft due to its excellent characteristics. Thermal radiation properties (solar absorptance and hemispheric emittance) of TC4 alloy are becoming important design indices. We investigated TC4 alloys with different surface morphologies and the effect of micro-morphology on thermal radiation properties. The results show that the solar absorptance of the alloys is sensitive to surface roughness and microstructure. As the surface roughness or crack increases, solar absorptance increases. Hemispheric emittance of the alloys increases as surface roughness is added, but it is insensitive to the micro-nanostructure of the alloys.

For brake and clutch components of aircraft vehicles which require higher mechanical strength and wear resilient, light-weight aluminium composites were developed infusing solid lubricant. In this study, hybrid composites were developed using powder metallurgy route with aluminum alloy AA356 and various amounts of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt.%) as reinforcements. A solid lubricant hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) at a fixed 5 wt.% is considered. Following the appropriate ASTM guidelines, the specimens were mechanically characterized by measuring their density, porosity, micro-hardness, compression strength, impact strength, and flexural strength, among other properties. The findings showed that the composites' mechanical and physical behaviour were greatly affected by the inclusion of ZrO2. Porosity increased as a result of particle clustering and interfacial voids, while density increased gradually as ceramic content increased. Consistently increasing ZrO2 addition

This study systematically evaluated the wear resilient performance of AZ61 magnesium alloy reinforced with 15 wt.% SiC and diverse amounts of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) under dry sliding circumstances adopting pin-on-disc apparatus (ASTM G99). To identify the influence of factors like sliding speed (SS) (1-3 m/s), axial load (AL) (10-30 N), and MWCNT concentration (0-3 wt.%) that affect tribological performance, experiments were developed using a Central Composite Design (CCD) under Response Surface Methodology (RSM). SEM micrographs revealed a dispersion optimum near 2 wt.% MWCNT, where CNTs anchor to SiC and bridge the α-Mg matrix, while 3 wt.% shows agglomerates and micro-voids. Findings showed that wear loss (WL) and friction coefficient (CoF) was greatly amplified by increasing AL owing to localized heating and contact stresses. A compacted tribolayer was formed by increasing SS, which decreased WL but marginally raised the CoF. At low AL (10 N), SS (2.09 m/s), and

The development of lightweight materials for use in aerospace and automotive applications is extremely significant. Magnesium (Mg)-based alloys and composites are good candidate materials from the perspective of low density, good specific strength, and abundance. The Mg-4Zn alloy is one such alloy, which is a lightweight, biocompatible, and eco-friendly Mg-based alloy. In spite of these advantages, there is a strong need and scope to improve its wear resistance and mechanical properties. Mg-4Zn nanocomposites with Si3N4 reinforcements (a biocompatible bioceramic) are hypothesized to possess superior properties. Microstructural analysis of the vacuum stir-cast nanocomposites confirms grain refinement and a consequent increase in microhardness with an increase in Si3N4 reinforcement wt.%. The addition of Si3N4 reinforcement to improve the properties of the Mg-4Zn alloy could introduce challenges in machining. To make products from the nanocomposites, machining them with minimal

Qualification of new aerospace alloys requires extensive mechanical testing to capture anisotropy and ensure reliable performance under complex loading conditions. This process is costly and time-consuming, particularly with emerging manufacturing routes such as additive manufacturing. Advanced yield surface prediction offers a route to reduce test campaigns by linking microstructural features to macroscopic constitutive models. In this work, Digimat is employed as a multi-scale material modeling platform to generate yield surfaces of polycrystalline metals using computational homogenization. Representative volume elements (RVEs) are constructed from experimental texture and grain morphology data, and their response under multiaxial loading is simulated using a crystal plasticity framework. The computed yield loci are then fitted with phenomenological functions (e.g. Yld2000-2D), enabling calibration of anisotropic yield models from virtual testing. As a case study, an AA6016-T4 sheet
