Study on Preparation and Mechanical Properties of Ti-PEEK-C_f Laminates

Abstract:

This paper reports the use of hot pressing method for the fabrication process in a fiber metal laminates (FMLs) structure based on polyetheretherketone (PEEK) prepreg and titanium alloy foils. In the first stage of the fabrication process, the curing process of the adhesive was studied. Then, the FMLs was prepared by the hot pressing method, and the tensile properties of the FMLs were analyzed. The results of DSC, tensile test results and NDI of ultrasonic C-scanning showed that the optimum fabrication process of the laminates was: fist adding 0.1MPa pressure when the molding temperature reach 10, then holding 180 mins when the molding temperature reach 200.
