Lightning strike damage suppression property of CFRP composite coated via an EGaIn liquid metal/graphite coating
Developing lightweight and high electrical conductivity coating is an effective approach to improve lightning strike suppression property of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite. In this work, two types of coatings composed of EGaIn (Ga-In) liquid metal and graphite were proposed and their lightning strike damage suppression properties on two types CFRP laminates ([45/0/-45/90]s, [0/90]2s) were studied. Results showed that the area density and thickness of the two coatings were only 45 %,11 % and 3 % of conventional lightning protection copper mesh while their electrical conductivities were only one and two orders of magnitude lower than copper mesh. For the suppression of lightning damages, the two coatings can significantly reduce 60 %/73 % surface damage areas and 77 %/76 % internal damage areas for [45/0/-45/90]s laminate, and 63 %/80 % and 68 %/80 % surface and internal damage areas for [0/90]2s sample after 100kA lightning strike. Compression After Lightning (CAL) properties of the two laminates were significantly enhanced from the protection of the two coatings, with retention of residual compression strength increased from 88.1 % to 96.1 % and 92.8 % for [45/0/-45/90]s laminate and from 83.9 % to 92.1 % and 90.1 % for [0/90]2s sample, close to the performance of copper mesh. The results obtained from this work provide a promising pathway for the design of lightweight CFRP composite with robust lightning strike protection functionality.
