| Description | In the last century, the aerospace industry was completely dominated by aluminium alloys due to their better strength-to-weight ratio and relative inexpensiveness. As much as 70% of aeroplane parts were made of aluminium alloys, whereas the use of other materials such as titanium alloys, graphite, and composites was limited to merely 3–7%. However, the trend of materials used for aeroplane parts has changed tremendously with the passage of time and different materials have been introduced for aerospace applications. Less critical aeroplane parts started using lighter-weight composite and honeycomb materials, while critical parts (such as the plane engine) came to use alloys capable of resisting high temperatures. Maximum possible weight reduction is the ultimate goal for every manufacturer of aeroplanes so as to reduce running expenses and increase fuel efficiency. Since the margin for errors for an aeroplane cruising at 35,000 ft altitude is negligible, therefore aerospace industries demand a very high level of accuracy and precision for each part used in the manufacture of an aeroplane, compared to any other industry.
