Corrosion Resistance and Mechanical Properties of Layered Structural Material Based on Aluminum Alloy and Fiberglass Thin Sheets

摘要

Within Russia, a course has been set for development of the Arctic as a transport zone and organization of full-scale recovery of natural resources, primarily hydrocarbons. One problem of economic and everyday development of the Arctic region is creation of materials and structures capable of operating in harsh climatic conditions. Materials used under these conditions should be distinguished not only by good mechanical properties, but also by improved corrosion resistance connected with the high moisture content of the region and presence of salt mist caused by the presence of the sea. There is great potential for use in structural objects of transport engineering of layered composite materials based on a metal matrix reinforced with various nonmetallic fibers, but for reliable operating capacity it is necessary to select components not having an unfavorable effect on each other. Data are provided in this article from research for preparing new structures of layered aluminum-fiberglass with improved corrosion resistance.
