Evaluation of Dimple Treatment for GFRP/Metal Co-Cured Joint

Abstract:

Since composite materials have high specific strength and stiffness, they are used for many fields such as aerospace and marine structures. According to such utilities, joining method between composites and metals must be developed. In this study, dimple treatment is carried out as a new reinforcing method for FRP/metal co-cured joint. Dimple treatment is applied to the adhesive surface of metal so that resin of FRP permeates into dimples and the strength of joints increases. It is revealed that dimple treatment achieves as high bonding strength as chemical surface treatment.
