Where Are Aluminum Airplane Parts Used? The popular aircraft airframe has been the most challenging function for aluminum alloys; to account the progress of the high strength alloys is as well to account the progress of air frames. Duralumin is the first high strength, high temperature treatable aluminum alloy and was utilized originally for the structure of stiff airships. Duralumin was actually an aluminum-copper-magnesium alloy. It was initiated in the country of Germany and expanded in the United States of America as alloy 17S-T. It was employed first and foremost as a sheet and plate.

As the 20th century evolved, aluminum turned out to be an important metal in aircraft parts. The cylinder mass of the engine that controlled the plane of the famous Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk in 1903 was a one piece die casting in an aluminum alloy consisting of 8% copper. The aluminum propeller blades emerged as early as 1907 and aluminum seats, covers, cast brackets, cowlings, and comparable parts were regular by the start of the World War I.

In the year 1916, L. Brequet created a scouting bomber that identified the primary utilization of aluminum in the functioning configuration of a plane. By the end of the war, Germany and the Allies used aluminum alloys intended for the constructional scaffolding of fuselage and section assemblies.
