8. PLATO : TOU progress meeting, 14-15/12/2010 8 Remarks on the first proposed materials Albemet: Ok but not from Brush Wellman because of ITAR licence Al 7075: Ok but do not use OAN because of holding issue and prefer the use of T7351 thermal treatment instead of T6 (see ECSS recommandation). Al 6061: Ok (thermal treatment T6 ok) Ti6Al4V-STA: Ok but not from Western Titanium because of ESA alert file (ESA-EA-2009-Mat4). Dispal: Materials QA experts don’t know this material => provide the datasheet and the flight heritage
