Synopsis

The aircraft industry is being transformed by the introduction of new techniques in design, production, and testing. New techniques for forming, bonding and manufacturing with existing materials as well as the development of new materials have made a considerable impact on the industry. After a short historical introduction, this book describes in detail operations and machinery concerned with light alloys, steels, nickel and titanium alloys, metal cutting, welding and brazing, surface and protective treatments, sheet metal working, non-metallic materials, assembly, inspection and testing. A final chapter describes estimating, planning and the role of computer aided design and machining (CADCAM).
