Alloy Comparison: 7075-T6 Aluminum VS 7075-T62 Aluminum Both 7075-T6 aluminum and 7075-T62 aluminum are variants of the same material. They share alloy composition and many physical properties but develop different mechanical properties as a result of different processing. 7075 is part of the 7000 Series of aluminum alloys, which is considered the...
Anyone working with aircraft or aircraft parts is likely quite familiar with aluminum. For the most part, all aircraft are composed of significant quantities of aluminum parts. While composite materials are becoming more and more common, aluminum is still the mainstay of aircraft material. Especially in the older planes. Take...
Aluminum is a ubiquitous material in aircraft and the various shapes and configurations of aluminum aircraft parts almost always derive from two basic forming processes: extruding or roll forming. While the reality is that most personnel handling and installing, replacing or repairing aircraft parts and components really don’t care how...
One of the key elements of being able to provide a “rapid response” solution for AOG requirements is having both the raw materials and the right tools in one place. At AAA Air Support we are constantly striving to elevate our capabilities and our new tool acquisition is a major step...
Aircraft on Ground - AOG Services from AAA Air Support The term “Aircraft on Ground”, or AOG, in the aviation maintenance industry, indicates that a problem is serious enough to prevent an aircraft from flying. AOG is defined as "any failure or discrepancy that grounds an aircraft", and is typically reported...
It can be safely said that aluminum is the second most widely used metal in the world. For us at AAA Airsupport, aluminum is vital in our manufacturing of parts like roll form and aircraft extrusions Because of its physical properties, and the fact that it is the most common...
