Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a method of manufacturing a tail trim using a clad metal plate, and a tail trim made of a clad metal plate, which thus enables decrease in weight and improved corrosion resistance, and which further enables increased heat resistance. The method includes rolling two washed metal materials to obtain an initial clad metal plate, and then heat treating and further rolling the initial clad metal plate to obtain a final clad metal plate; pressing the final clad metal plate, thus forming a main tail trim and a housing, the housing including a tail trim upper cover and a tail trim lower cover; and subjecting the main tail trim and the housing to tungsten inert gas welding, thus manufacturing the tail trim.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A tail trim comprising: a main tail trim; and a housing coupled to the main tail trim, the housing comprising a tail trim upper cover and a tail trim lower cover, wherein the main tail trim is formed from a first clad metal plate of two metal materials, and the housing is formed from a second clad metal plate of two metal materials, wherein the at least one of the two metal materials of the first clad metal plate is different than at least one of the metal materials of the second clad metal plate, wherein the first clad metal plate is fabricated from A7075 aluminum alloy and an A5052 aluminum alloy, and the second clad metal plate is formed from A7075 aluminum alloy and stainless steel. 2. The tail trim of claim 1 , wherein the housing has an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the inner layer is formed from an aluminum alloy and the outer layer is formed from stainless steel.
