A novel process for cost effective manufacturing of fiber metal laminate with textile reinforced pCBT composites and aluminum alloy

EVALUATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF LOW COST FMLs FABRICATED WITH COIR FIBRE-REINFORCED COMPOSITES

“…For CoRAL, the surface treatment of aluminium alloy faces was performed as follows: 1) washing with a surfactant; 2) mechanical abrasion with 150 sandpaper grit so as to produce a pattern of mutually perpendicular slots oriented at ± 45°; 3) alkaline degreasing with 5 wt% NaOH solution to promote the "Bridging effect" [11]; 4) priming -wash primer was applied by a compressed air spray gun. Two layers were successively applied with a 10 min interval.…”

“…In all FML applications, face-core bond strength is a fundamental property [11]. The mechanical efficiency of FMLs is indeed determined by the ability of this interfacial region to transfer mechanical loads through the constituents materials [4][5] [6] [12][10] [3].…”

“…The mechanical efficiency of FMLs is indeed determined by the ability of this interfacial region to transfer mechanical loads through the constituents materials [4][5] [6] [12][10] [3]. Thus, pre-treatments of aluminum faces are important to improve the inherently weak interlaminar bond strength between the aluminum alloy and the polymeric core [11][12] [6].…”

A Review of the Recent Advances in Cyclic Butylene Terephthalate Technology and its Composites

“…An increasing amount of work is focussed on improving the mechanical properties of Wu et al [205][206][207][208][209] proposed a new concept for binding and ex situ toughening of textile reinforced pCBT composites. First, an epoxy preforming binder in powder form was spread onto the surface of tri-axial GF fabrics and then thermally activated in a hot plate press.…”

Synthesis, Characterization and Dry Sliding Wear Behavior of In-situ Formed TiAl3 Precipitate Reinforced A356 Alloy Produced by Mechanical Alloying Method

“…The usage of AMCs in engineering applications increases day by day. For this reason, in order to increase AMCs' wear resistance, the studies carried out in the composites produced in-situ have been increasing [17][18][19][20][21][22] . In order to improve the tribological properties of aluminum alloys, titanium aluminates are formed within the matrix through the addition of Ti to these alloys.…”
