Carbon Fiber Metal Laminate

Carbon fibre reinforced aluminum laminate is a fibre metal laminate consists of alternating thin aluminum alloy layers and uniaxial or biaxial carbon fibre prepreg.

Fokker business of gkn aerospace. Carbon fiber cf and carbon fiber composites have gained widespread use in recent years due to their unique combination of high strength and stiffness to weight ratio. Creating a one off part can be quite expensive to design mold and produce in carbon fiber. The metal fibre hybrid laminates consist of an alternation of 0 2 0 5 mm metallic sheets aluminum or titanium in aeronautical engineering and pre pregs made of unidirectional carbon or aramid.

The gkn aerospace fokker business makes the panels in papendrecht the netherlands. Carbon fiber laminating aka skinning is a great cost alternative to add carbon fiber elements to your vehicle. Aluminum alloy 2024 t3 is selected as the metal layer. Carall carbon reinforced aluminum laminate based on carbon fibers taking advantage of the hybrid nature from their two key constituents.

A surface treatment technique combining a sulfuric acid anodizing with a hybrid sol gel coating for the aluminum alloy is developed to prevent carall from galvanic corroding. To improve their mechanical properties cf is sometimes used as a laminate usually with aluminum to improve the impact and residual strength properties of the cf.

Early aerospace material composites makes a comeback fiber metal laminate fml panels combine aluminum with fiberglass prepreg for fuselage structure with many advantages. The metal currently being used is either aluminium magnesium or titanium and the fiber reinforced layer is either glass fiber carbon fiber and aramid fiber reinforced composite. Metals mostly aluminum and fiber reinforced laminate these composites offer several advantages such as better damage tolerance to fatigue crack growth and impact damage especially for aircraft applications. Fiber metal laminate fml is a family of hybrid composite structure formed from the combination of metal layers sandwiching a fiber reinforced plastic layer.

In this paper a galvanic corrosion resistant carbon fiber metal laminate carall is developed.
