Metal fasteners used with carbon/graphite composite structuresmust be constructed of material such as titanium or corrosion resistant steel.
must be constructed of high strength aluminum-lithium alloy.
may be constructed of any of the metals commonly used in aircraft fasteners.
Sandwich panels made of metal honeycomb construction are used on modern aircraft because this type of constructionhas a high strength to weight ratio.
is lighter than single sheet skin of the same strength and is more corrosion resistant.
may be repaired by gluing replacement skin to the inner core material with thermoplastic resin.
