1 Scope
In this Part 5 of the spacecraft thermal control and design data handbooks, clause 4 contains technical data on the metallic alloys used in spacecrafts is given: composition,
application areas, properties and behaviour from a thermal and thermo-optics point
of view, degeneration and aging. All other properties of the metallic alloys are outside
the scope of this document.
Properties of composite materials combined to form heterogeneous structures are given
in clause 5.
