  • COMPOSITE STRUCTURES COMPRISING METAL SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20240253326
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a composite structure comprising at least one reinforced polymer layer comprising a reinforcing material; a layer comprising a metal substrate comprising a surface and a conformal organic coating present on at least a portion of the surface; wherein the layer comprising the metal substrate is in direct contact with the reinforced polymer layer, and the reinforcing material is more noble than the metal substrate. Also disclosed is a method of making a composite structure, a surfacing film, and a test method for evaluating the galvanic corrosion resistance of a metal substrate test piece.

  • Ultra-thin metallic foil for lightning strike protection
    Patent number: 10604272
    Abstract: A metallic foil for lightning strike protection in a composite aerospace structure having a length, a width, and a thickness of not more than 30 microns. There are a plurality of pores of a predefined geometric shape extending through the thickness of the metallic foil and being distributed across a surface area defined by the length and the width of the metallic foil. The plurality of pores in the aggregate define an open area of not more than 40% of the surface area and the metallic foil has a weight of not more than 115 g/m2. The metallic foil has a weight to conductivity ratio of not more than 0.40 gram-ohms per square.
