Abstract
This study focused on optimizing the adhesive interfaces between Magnesium Alloy (MA) and Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites using laser engraving treatment and Resin Pre-Coating (RPC). This synergistic approach improved the bonding conditions and constructed continuous epoxy interlocking teeth by introducing vertical gaps between annular array units. The MA-CFRP composite exhibited a noticeable 126.1 % improvement in its bonding strength following laser engraving of solid circles (0.16 mm in diameter) and RPC treatment. Moreover, the initial debonding failure of the MA surface shifted into cohesive failure of epoxy adhesive and CFRP panel delamination failure. The combination of the two techniques presents a novel and effective strategy to enhance the bond strength of MA-CFRP joints, exhibiting for industrial manufacturing of high-performance MA-CFRP composites.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
