metals that have elements other than iron as its base or principal constituent. This group includes metals, such as aluminum, titanium, copper, and magnesium, as well as alloyed metals, such as Monel and Babbitt. Aluminum & Aluminum Alloys Commercially pure aluminum ... which stands second in the scale of malleability, sixth in ductility, and ranks high in its resistance to corrosion. Aluminum combined with various percentages of other metals forms alloys, which are used in aircraft construction. Aluminum alloys with principal alloying…

Figure 3-14. Rotating stands and sawhorses facilitate easy access to top and bottom surfaces during the fabric covering process. Figure 3-15. Some components of a work area for covering an aircraft with fabric. To obtain a smooth finish ... fabric-covered leading edges of aluminum wings, a sheet of felt or polyester padding may be applied before the fabric is installed. This should only be done with the material specified in the STC under which the technician is working…
- Chapter 4: Aircraft Metal Structural Repair › Forming Process
Factory engineers, who designate specifications for the materials to be used to ensure the finished part has the correct temper when it leaves the machines, plan every part. Factory draftsmen prepare a layout for each part. [Figure 4-116] Forming ... manufacturer’s resources, but similar techniques of factory metal working can be applied in the handcrafting of repair parts. Forming usually involves the use of extremely light-gauge alloys of a delicate nature that can be readily made useless…
