Research Progress of the Galvanic Corrosion between Carbon Fiber Reinforced Resin Matrix Composites and Typical Metal Connections

Abstract

In order to provide a basis for the design and application of carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composites and aiming at the galvanic corrosion between carbon fiber composite materials and metals, the influences of CFRP type, metal material type, service environment and structural connection method on the above - mentioned galvanic corrosion were expounded based on the microstructure and performance characteristics of the carbon fiber and its composite materials. As the riveting, bolting and bonding between carbon fiber composite materials and metals could have different effects on the galvanic corrosion and there is little research on this aspect at present, this will be one of the important study contents in the future.
