Abstract

Due to present need of light weight and high performance structure, new hybrid materials are developed known as fiber metal laminates (FML). Fiber metal laminates comprises of alternate layers of composite and metals bonded together with appropriate adhesive technique. Mechanical and chemical surface treatment of 2024 aluminum alloy metal for obtaining strong interface bond between aluminum and composite layer. Due to decreased manufacturing cost and time, ease in forming, recyclability, thermoplastic composite are preferred in this study. Fiber metal laminates manufactured by press molding of one surface treated 2024 aluminum alloy as core material and two outer layers of glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite. This study investigates the mechanical properties of these fiber metal laminates by performing various tests such as tensile test, low velocity impact test, fire resistant test and flexural test. These results were further validated using analysis software.
