Fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) are key to modern composite structures and metal-composite coupling is crucial to improve their effectiveness. Cold-metal transfer (CMT) PIN welding, in correlated efforts, has been successfully explored as a metal-composite hybrid joining approach. This work proposes a novel development on FMLs, which consists of introducing metal pins welded by CMT PIN for anchoring their metal and composite layers together. Thus, miniaturized FML panels with different pin deposition spacing and patterns are evaluated with emphasis in drop-weight testing followed by buckling and by means of Iosipescu shear test as complement. They are also subjected to cosmetic and preliminary modal analyses. Besides not adding significant weight, the pins does not make the panels more brittle and their distribution does not imply significant effect in the capacity that the panels have to dissipate impact. The panels with pins exhibit a less catastrophic trend, indicating damage tolerance improvement as significantly higher loads at longer axial displacements in buckling test after impact are achieved. The anchoring effect of the pins is confirmed throughout the shear test results. The pins also significantly increase the damping factor of the panels and the changes in their metal surfaces by the CMT PIN process are considered as irrelevant.

“…ARALL found its first application in C17 cargo doors. Some of the other major applications of fibre metal laminations in avaiation industry were found in the Ref [2]. By combining the isotropic, plastic behavior, durability characteristic, impact resistance, easy repair of metals and superior strength, stiffness, excellent fatigue, fracture characteristics of composite materials; FML was developed as a material having superior fatigue resistance, excellent impact characteristics, having low density and adequate corrosion resistance property [3,4].…”

“…Lightweight FMLs are widely used in the aerospace industry due to their remarkable fatigue and impact properties . Researchers have shown that the existence of fibers in the composite layers acted as a barrier against crack propagation, and they increase the burn rate through resistance as well as damping and insulation properties, while the metal layers provide high impact resistance and damage tolerance in the FMLs . The first generation of thermoset‐based FMLs which consist of aramid fiber prepreg sandwiched with aluminum plates, namely ARALL (Aramid‐reinforced aluminum laminate), were successfully developed in Delf University of Technology.…”

The effects of stacking configuration on the response of tensile and quasi‐static penetration to woven kenaf/glass hybrid composite metal laminate

The hybridization of natural and synthetic fibers in composite materials has gained the attention in the research field due to environmental awareness. Therefore, this study focuses on the effects of fiber stacking configuration on the tensile and quasi‐static penetration of kenaf/glass hybrid fiber metal laminates (FMLs). Kenaf/glass reinforced polypropylene FMLs with two different hybrid stacking configurations were prepared using hot compression process. Non‐hybrid kenaf and glass fiber reinforced metal laminates were also prepared for comparison. The tensile test was conducted according to ASTM E8, while the quasi‐static penetration test was carried out in accordance with ASTM D 6264 using 12.7 and 20 mm hemispherical indenters. The fractured surface of FMLs due to tensile loading was examined using scanning electron microscope, while optical micrograph was used to investigate the failure mechanism of quasi‐statically penetrated laminates. From the results, FMLs with the glass plies at the outer layers of composite (H1) showed a positive hybrid effect as they displayed better tensile and penetration resistance, compared to the non‐hybrid kenaf and glass reinforced FMLs. Furthermore, it could be seen that the overall performance of FMLs decreased as the kenaf content in the laminates further increases for hybrid FML. POLYM.
