The field of materials engineering is an important one within aerospace engineering. Its practice is defined by the international standards bodies [1] who maintain standards for the materials and processes involved. [2] Engineers in this field may often have studied for degrees or post-graduate qualifications in it as a speciality. [3]
Since 1938, NASC has developed more than 2,600 standards for aerospace fasteners and other mechanical parts. Personnel from the defense services, Defense Industrial Supply Center and Defense Electronics Supply Center participate in the preparation of NAS standards, and liaison is maintained with the FAA, NASA, AIA Canada, and the airlines. NAS ...

The new standardized document, called 9100, was still based on ISO 9001:1994(E), although it was published separately by each country's aerospace association or standards body (AS 9100 in the U.S). AS 9100 added 55 aerospace industry specific amplifications and requirements to ISO 9001:1994.
Material selection is a step in the process of designing any physical object. In the context of product design, the main goal of material selection is to minimize cost while meeting product performance goals. [1] Systematic selection of the best material for a given application begins with properties and costs of
Strictly speaking, these documents serve different purposes. According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), military specifications "describe the physical and/or operational characteristics of a product", while military standards "detail the processes and materials to be used to make the product." Military handbooks, on the other hand ...
These materials and others such as titanium, aluminium, magnesium and high strength steel alloys are widely used in aerospace and other applications where weight savings are worth the higher material cost. Note that strength and stiffness are distinct. Both are important in design of efficient and safe structures.
ATA Spec 100 [1] ' and iSpec 2200 [2] are information standards for aviation maintenance and flight operations [3] published by Airlines for America (formerly Air Transport Association). [ 4 ] These standards provide recommended specifications for the content, structure and deliverables to meet communication requirements [physical, electronic ...
