Interfacial bonding between CFRP and mechanically-treated aluminum liner surfaces for risers

Abstract The bonding between metal and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites is important in structures such as composite risers. Surface treatment of the metal is required to improve the metal-composite bonding. In this study, the effects of two mechanical surface treatment methods on the bonding between carbon/epoxy composites and aluminum are studied. The treatment methods investigated are grit blasting and grooving. Mechanical tests are performed and the test results are used with finite element simulations to study the failure and damage mechanisms at the composite-metal interface. The mechanical response and damage propagation at the metal-composite interface are modeled successfully using surface-based cohesive behavior. The finite element simulations gave insight into the way that the grooving treatment method improved the composite-metal bonding.
