Aerospace Engineering 2015
• The Engineering Exhibition
• Performance Materials Engineering
• Composites Engineering
• Appropriate that we look to the future of materials
• Not just for their performance
• Raw material now accounts for ~60% of the aircraft cost
• Cannot keep challenging the ‘Value Added’ portion of the supply chains cost.
• Airbus wants to build aircraft with less material
• Don’t worry, with air travel demand set to double over the next 15 years, the material market will still
see a growth!

Materials
• The ‘Needs’
• Lightweight
• Good fatigue
• Corrosion resistant
• The ‘Options’
• Composites
• More than 50% of A350XWB
• Metallics
• Response from the industry
• ‘New Business Cases’

Reductive Approaches
• Traditional methods
• Forgings
• High Buy-to-Fly ratio (up to 10:1)
• We understand forgings, or do we? (Modelling limitations)
• Close to form forgings assist, but still too much material being bought per part
• Adoption of latest machining techniques always a challenge.
• Focus needed on the science and dynamics of machining rather than ‘trial and error’.
• Having stated this, there still is a place for forgings on critical parts.

Additive Approaches
• Additive manufacturing has been with us since the first fabricated part.
• It cannot be considered as just ALM (Additive Layer Manufacturing), even if this technology is ‘in
vogue’.
• Alternative approaches
• Fabrication (various types of welded structures, Friction Stir, Linear Friction, Electron Beam, etc)
• Additive Layer Manufacturing (Powder, Wire Feed)
• Casting
• Powder and HIP

Enablers to Additive
• The Raw Material
• Control of the new
• Control of the recycled
• The Processes
• New machines
• Greater energy
• Modelling
• One of the biggest opportunities as we design for additive processes
• Certification
• Robust documented processes
• Standards
• Qualification
• Rules

The Future for Additive
• The ‘Best’ process applied for the part
• New modelling tools
• Regional production of parts for Repair & Overhaul
• Reduction of component recurring costs up to 25%
• New Business Models
