Abstract:Nowadays, aluminum components in aircraft are mainly found in the form of thin-walled monolithic structural parts of the internal fuselage and the wings as spars and ribs [1]. This is because these components have excellent material properties for lightweight applications, such as a high strength-to-weight ratio and good corrosion resistance [2]. A typical manufacturing process to produce such structural components is milling. For these weight-optimized, monolithic components, up to 95% of the material is remo… Show more
