Composite structure with molybdenum foil
Composite structures and components are used in a variety of applications, including the manufacture of aircraft, spacecraft, rotorcraft, ships, cars, trucks and other vehicles. In particular, in the construction of aircraft, composite structures and components are used in increasing quantities to form the fuselage, wings, tail sections, skin panels and other components of the aircraft.
There are known methods for manufacturing hybrid laminates that combine polymerized composites, such as graphite, boron, or mixtures of graphite and boron composites, with metal foil materials, such as titanium. The metal foil material can be added between the laminated plates of the polymerized composite unidirectional tape.
Molybdenum laminates comprise a plurality of composite layers. The molybdenum laminate laminate further comprises a plurality of layers containing molybdenum strips interwoven between the composite layers. Each layer containing a molybdenum foil includes a composite layer having a cutout portion of a surface-treated molybdenum strip. The molybdenum laminate laminate further comprises a plurality of adhesive layers arranged between a composite layer and an adjacent layer containing a molybdenum strip, and bonding the adjacent layers.
