Advanced Aluminum Alloys for Aerospace Applications

[@YourUncle8501]

They need to show these types of videos in our material science and mechanics of materials classes (for mech/aero) to tie everything together. The jargon in class gets so dry and overwhelming that info retention goes down. AWESOME VIDEO. Sub earned!

[@terranspaceacademy]

Thank you so much! We try to create the classes we wish we had had in college!

[@patricofritz4094]

Material science sounds like a great subject

[@terranspaceacademy]

@@patricofritz4094 it has an awesome future

[@patricofritz4094]

@@terranspaceacademy I think I will look into it in the future

[@joachimsingh2929]

A video about scandium alloys would be great! High melting point and slightly higher density than aluminum. Fotnote: addition of 0.4% scandium to aluminium alloys can increase strength up to 30%

[@terranspaceacademy]

Great idea! Thank you!

[@1380cshau]

This channel is a gem!

[@terranspaceacademy]

Thank you so much! We are determined to keep all terminators happy :-)

[@lorriecarrel9962]

It sure is

[@big-t2060]

little correction : emeralds are not corundums, but beryls ;) very informative video !

[@terranspaceacademy]

Oh thanks!

[@LuciFeric137]

Fascinating. Almost a modern alchemy.

[@terranspaceacademy]

It is indeed. It's crazy what these alloys can do. If you watch Super Alloys you'll see that a one titanium gold alloy is much harder than titanium by itself (gold is very soft) and another is magnetic when neither titanium no gold are by themselves.

[@edclink1999]

Thanks for the well presented information but why has Space X moved from aluminum to stainless steel alloys? How do they compare?

[@terranspaceacademy]

Coming up Saturday :-)...

[@rodanderson8490]

Stainless steel has a MUCH higher melting point than aluminum -- which is needed for reentry plasma heating.

[@sonikesarwani1770]

Thank you for an informative video Sir, what about another series of al alloy, is it useful for the aerospace industry? i.e. 5 and 4 series

[@terranspaceacademy]

That's a great idea... We are hoping to do one on the Vulcan rocket soon... They used honeycomb aluminum alloy in the fairings etc... :-)

[@dave8599]

very nice video, but the audio is too low. I can barely hear you. very informative !

[@terranspaceacademy]

Sorry about that, early on we didn't have a good grasp of audio editing.

[@westingalante]

Bro this is awesome!!

[@terranspaceacademy]

Thank you so much :-)

[@ccc822007]

It's not being used in the Cybertrucks Windows.

[@deetyasharma1032]

This is awesome!!

[@terranspaceacademy]

Thank you so much!

[@XxXxLEOnARDxXxX]

you are doing good job with your videos, thank you!

[@terranspaceacademy]

Glad you like them and thank you!

[@Fletch2022]

This is awesome

[@terranspaceacademy]

Thank you!

[@yasirpanezai5690]

Nice

[@terranspaceacademy]

Thank you!

[@joshuamichael4101]

"Alon" not Elon, I'd laughed so hard 😂🤣🤣

[@terranspaceacademy]

Very happy to cheer you up Joshua :-)

[@MR-uk7iy]

very cool

[@terranspaceacademy]

Thank you very much!

[@royalwins2030]

Id love to see a ton more money dumped into materials science R and D. Maybe an easier way to refine titanium? Could really change lives.

[@terranspaceacademy]

Indeed! What will we be able to do with osmium, iridium, etc, when we have real quantities to work with. And cheap gold and silver. Silver is better than copper for heat conductance and strength... Just too expensive.

[@jaypanchal5042]

what was mark zuckerberg doing in here 3:00

[@terranspaceacademy]

He's everywhere...

[@luisarturomojica2865]

You lost me at "cyndrilical" 🤣🤣🤣 i wonder if a "nucular" weapon is of "cyndrilical" shape🤔

[@terranspaceacademy]

It must be...otherwise it just won't work :-)

[@martyspargur5281]

Hate to be the grammar nanny, but I'm pretty sure "Cyndrillical" has Three "L's".

[@5eZa]

CAN'T HEAR YOU "cyndrilical" -> "cylindrical" terrible pronounciation. ugh can't watch

[@terranspaceacademy]

Sorry about that :-)
