Experimental and numerical investigations into the behaviour of a 7175-T7351 aluminium alloy for aerospace gearbox housing applications at elevated temperatures
The 7175-T7351 aluminium alloy was studied to determine its suitability for the step-aside gearbox housing on the Rolls Royce Trent 1000 engine. The industrial motivation of this work was to reduce the weight of the gearbox housing using this lightweight material to ultimately improve the specific f...
