Abstract :

Fiber‐metal laminate is a material constituted of composite laminate and metal sheets, whose mechanical properties can be tailored by varying the thickness, the number of layers and bonding type. For this reason, in this research, strength test, adhesion test and flux test for a sandblasted and etched aluminum sheet that contained a seven-layer composite with 2 types of adhesion treatment (phenol adhesive/resin of composite material) and front side composite layup (High-silica/High-silica+Carbon) were investigated. It was found that the above-mentioned factors influenced the flexural strength of FML; precisely, the presence of an adhesive layer between the composite plies and the metal sheet made the flexural strength decrease, while this mechanical parameter increased passing from two metal sheets to only one. The results show that the presence of carbon layer has led to the greatest increase in strength due to strong bonding. Also, the results of the flux test show that the behavior of the two samples is very close to each other.
