Question 1: Which of the following is the most critical factor when selecting a casting process for aerospace aluminum alloys?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The ease of post-processing

The casting temperature

The alloy's fluidity and solidification characteristics

The weight of the component

Question 2: What is the purpose of "Accelerated Life Testing" in materials validation, and how does it impact the reliability assessment of aerospace components?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Accelerated life testing simulates extended service conditions over a short period, helping to predict material behavior and longevity under operational stress

Accelerated life testing only applies to low-temperature materials

Accelerated life testing is irrelevant when the material has been in use for several years

Accelerated life testing is only necessary for new technologies

Question 3: In testing aerospace alloys, which of the following methods is used to determine the alloy's response to high-strain rate deformation?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA)

Charpy impact testing

Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB)

High-speed tensile testing

Question 4: What is the impact of "Hot Working" on the mechanical properties of aerospace materials, and how does it compare to cold working?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Hot working only applies to non-metallic materials

Hot working is irrelevant for composite materials

Hot working increases the risk of material brittleness

Hot working improves material formability and reduces internal stresses, enhancing the mechanical properties of high-strength alloys used in aerospace

Question 5: In the testing of aerospace alloys, what is the primary purpose of conducting a fracture toughness test?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To measure the yield strength

To evaluate fatigue life

To determine resistance to crack growth

To determine hardness

Question 6: In aerospace materials failure analysis, how does "X-ray Diffraction" help in identifying material degradation or failure modes?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

X-ray diffraction is used for analyzing the color and texture of the material, not its internal properties

X-ray diffraction is irrelevant for metallic alloys used in aerospace

X-ray diffraction only applies to composite materials

X-ray diffraction is used to identify phase changes or crystalline structure changes in materials, providing insights into stress, corrosion, and fatigue failure mechanisms
