Question 1: When selecting materials for high-temperature aerospace components, what factor is most important?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

High electrical conductivity

Low cost and ease of fabrication

Weight and density

High thermal stability and resistance to thermal cycling

Question 2: When performing a tensile test on a material used in aerospace, which property is most critical for ensuring structural integrity under extreme stress?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Ultimate tensile strength and elongation

The material's cost and ease of manufacturing

The material's ease of welding

The material's conductivity

Question 3: How does the processing method, such as forging or casting, impact the mechanical properties of aerospace materials?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Casting provides higher strength and lower cost

Casting increases material toughness at the expense of strength

Forging reduces material waste but increases cost

Forging improves the material's strength and toughness by refining the grain structure

Question 4: How does "Hot Isostatic Pressing" (HIP) improve the properties of aerospace materials, particularly for titanium alloys?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

HIP is unnecessary if the material is already heat-treated

HIP is irrelevant for titanium alloys, which don't require densification

HIP only applies to polymer composites, not metallic alloys

HIP improves material density, reduces porosity, and enhances mechanical properties by applying high pressure and temperature simultaneously

Question 5: How does "Additive Manufacturing" (3D printing) benefit the aerospace industry in producing complex components?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Additive manufacturing is slower and less cost-effective for aerospace applications

Additive manufacturing cannot be used for metal parts in aerospace

Additive manufacturing only works for plastic materials

Additive manufacturing enables the creation of intricate geometries and customized components with reduced material waste

Question 6: 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
