Effect of anodic oxidation of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy on interface properties of metal fiber laminates

Abstract

Interlaminar fracture failure is the main factor restricting the development and application of fiber metal laminates. In this paper, the interlayer bonding properties of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy plates with different surface treatments were compared and studied through lap-shear experiments. Compared with the aluminum plate treated with acid and alkali corrosion, the interlaminar shear strength of the aluminum plate after sulfuric acid anodization increased by 34.3%. After different surface treatments, experimental stressstrain curves of 2024-T3 aluminum alloys reveal the enhancement mechanism and changing trend of interlaminar shear strength.
