TFP's Lightweight Glass Veils Prove Integral to
Successful Application of Fibre Metal Laminates
Fibre Metal Laminates combine layers of composite and metal,
creating a unique set of material properties that are an effective
balance of the advantages and disadvantages of their constituents.
Initially developed for the aerospace industry, FMLs have many
advantages; they are lightweight, have a high damage tolerance,
and demonstrate good fatigue, corrosion and impact properties.
The versatility and mechanical properties of FML technology show
promise for expansion into other sectors as well, such as wind
energy and marine transport, especially when combined with new
reactive thermoplastic systems.
Combining these technologies presents challenges, particularly the
optimisation of the metal-composite interface for good adhesion. The constituent materials
are dissimilar, potentially causing weak interfacial bonding leading to delamination and loss
of integrity.
A recent study, conducted by the University of Edinburgh titled 'Vacuum-infused thermoplastic
fibre-metal laminates - Advances in bonding and recycling', evaluates the utilisation of
nonwovens as a carrier for the adhesive to improve the bond line uniformity and interfacial
bonding, the latter of which is characterised by a high Interlaminar Shear Strength (ILSS).
TFP's lightweight nonwovens are already used extensively in the aerospace industry as a
carrier or support for adhesive films in more traditional composite layups. They facilitate
uniform wet out of adhesive, setting the bond line to ensure a defined and consistent film
thickness, whilst ultimately improving the resilience and handling of the final product. To read
