Abstract
In the forming process of fiber-reinforced metal laminates (FMLs) product, the exploratory compound forming technology, including hot stamping of aluminum alloy and laying process of fiber prepreg which is named HFQ-FMLs was proposed to solve the puzzles such as weak rigidity, low strength and integration deformation with large difficulty, and the feasibility and mechanical properties of the innovative forming process were studied. Firstly, based on the modified metal volume fraction formula, the theoretical values of the mechanical properties of the HFQ-FMLs plates were calculated. Compared with the experimental results, the minimum error is 1%, proving that the HFQ-FMLs technology scheme is feasible. Secondly, three kinds of metal sheets with different heat treatments and specimens by HFQ-FMLs were carried out for the tensile tests, the mechanical properties distributions were demonstrated, and the influence regularity of the strain rate and rolling direction on the stress analysis was considered at the same time. As can be seen from the distribution of yield strength and tensile strength, the yield stress of metal sheets obtained by HFQ-FMLs technology along the 45° is superior to the raw material and can increase by 46% under strain rate = 0.01 s−1. While, because the vacuum thermal curing treatment makes the aluminum alloy happen double aging, the metal sheet strength dropped, and the jointing strength between the metal and fiber prepreg became weak too, which made the strength limit of the new material improve weakly. Thirdly, the fractured style of the FMLs under different conditions was studied qualitatively. It is helpful to achieve the development rule of defects, optimize the craft route, and avoid deformation failure.
