Special steels are widely used in the aviation sector, mainly for the construction and components of aircraft, engines and other aviation equipment. The choice of steel depends on its mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and heat treatment properties, commonly used aviation steels include high temperature steel, stainless steel, titanium alloy steel, nickel base alloy and aluminum alloy steel .
Application of steel in the field of aviation
The application of steel in the aviation field is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
aircraft structure : Steel is used to make key structural parts of aircraft, such as wings, fuselage, tail and engines .
engine parts : Steel is used in the manufacture of engine parts, such as pistons, piston rings, piston bodies and rods .
safety equipment Steel is also used in aviation safety equipment such as seat belts, shields and protective frames
