Question 1: What is the primary concern when using aluminum alloys in aerospace applications under high-stress conditions?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The risk of intergranular corrosion

The risk of stress corrosion cracking and fatigue

The high density of aluminum alloys

Their tendency to deform under high temperatures

Question 2: Which technique is best suited for identifying microstructural changes during the failure of titanium alloys?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)

X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

Question 3: How do you evaluate the impact of environmental conditions, such as humidity or saltwater, on the corrosion resistance of aerospace materials?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By performing accelerated corrosion tests, including salt spray and immersion testing, and analyzing material degradation over time

By excluding environmental factors and focusing only on mechanical properties

By relying on the manufacturer's corrosion resistance data without testing

By selecting materials that are generally corrosion-resistant without considering the specific environment

Question 4: In the cold working of aerospace metals, which of the following is primarily affected by the process?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Hardness and strength

Surface finish

Ductility and formability

All of the above

Question 5: What is the primary advantage of using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) for coating aerospace components?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

PLD requires less post-processing of the coated material

PLD allows precise control over the coating thickness and uniformity

PLD is capable of applying thicker coatings than conventional methods

PLD is faster and less expensive than other coating techniques

Question 6: How does "Material Toughness" contribute to preventing catastrophic failure in aerospace components?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Toughness allows materials to absorb energy without fracturing, which is critical for aerospace components that experience high-impact or stress conditions

Toughness is irrelevant when the material is only under tensile stress

Toughness only applies to materials used in high-temperature environments

Toughness reduces the strength of materials and should be avoided
