Abstract

In this study, hybrid metallic fabrics were produced by traditional weaving method using 0.2 mm thick Aluminum (Al) 1005 H14 material and polyethylene fishing line (PL). During the production of hybrid metallic fabrics, fishing line was used as warp and Al 1005 H14 wire of the same thickness was used as weft. The fabrics were cut into layers with dimensions of 30 mm width and 300 mm length. Each layer was bonded using FM® 73M structural adhesive. Laminates of hybrid composites with different arrangement of layers were fabricated with Al 5005 H34 spacer sheet. The resulting laminates were cured by applying additional pressure in a temperature-controlled hydraulic press, after which the specimens were cut for tensile testing with a saw according to ASTM D3039 standard. The effect of the Al 5005 H34 intermediate material on weight was determined. Three specimens from each laminate group were tensile tested and the results analyzed. It was found that fabrics containing Al 1005 H14 and PL can be successful.
