A method and system is disclosed for determining upper strain limits for materials, and designing devices or components based on determined strain limits.

Methods of determining strain limits and designing devices based on strain limits

The present disclosure describes methods for anodizing aluminum alloys, including 7000 series aluminum alloys, and creating metal components, including aircraft landing gear components, from the aluminum alloys.

Aluminum alloy anodization

The present disclosure includes methods for coating and/or repairing a surface of a titanium metal part. Uncoated or damaged portions of the surface of titanium parts are prepared for coating, followed by applying a first coating. A second coating may then be applied to form a coated or repaired surface. The coated or repaired surface may be machined to produce a finished surface having a predetermined thickness.

Nickel repair of titanium surfaces

A method for treating high-strength, low-alloy steel includes controlling material responses, such as the crystal structure of the steel, through various processing steps. More specifically, the method includes cold treating the steel to achieve predictable increases in a minimum ultimate tensile strength or desired changes in the crystal structure of the steel. In one embodiment, cold treating the steel operates to controllably increase the minimum ultimate tensile strength of the steel within increasing a specified maximum ultimate tensile strength of the steel. Stated otherwise, cold treating the steel may reduce or narrow a minimum-to-maximum ultimate tensile strength range such that the minimum ultimate tensile strength is closer to the specified maximum ultimate tensile strength.
