On “An Introduction to metallic materials for transport applications”

     Following a general introduction on the specificity of metallic materials for transport applications, a general and extensive view of economic issues will be given to highlight the main drivers for developing materials and structures. General properties and processing of steels, superalloys, aluminium and titanium alloys will be extensively reviewed as well as the principle of material selection by simply illustrating using few comprehensive examples. Both thermal and thermomechanical treatments and their effects on the engineering properties of the various investigated materials will be detailed to assess for the impact of dedicated materials microstructures on the performances of the structures and systems used specifically for the application. The various aspects of materials processing, implementation and characterization will be largely illustrated by multi-scale, multi-physics results of research achievements by the authors, including heat treatments implementation (precipitation hardening, martensitic transformation), mechanical tests (tensile, impact strength, creep, fatigue, crack propagation test), scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy investigations.
