Corrosion Behavior of Friction Stir Welded AA8090-T87 Aluminum Alloy.

Aerospace alloys with reduced wall thickness but possessing higher hardness, good tensile strength and reasonable corrosion resistance are essential in manufacturing of structures such as fuselage. In this work, friction stir welding has been carried out on such an aerospace aluminum alloy AA8090 T87 which contains 2.3% lithium.

Green Corrosion Inhibition on Carbon-Fibre-Reinforced Aluminium Laminate in NaCl Using Aerva Lanata Flower Extract.

Aluminium-based fibre-metal laminates are lucrative candidates for aerospace manufacturers since they are lightweight and high-strength materials. The flower extract of aerva lanata was studied in order to prevent the effect of corrosion on the aluminium-based fibre-metal laminates (FMLs) in basic media. It is considered an eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor using natural sources.
