Abstract
The fracture properties of fiber-metal laminates based on a lightweight magnesium alloy and a carbon fiber reinforced plastic were discussed. It was found that FML have excellent durability and machinability with superior fatigue and fracture properties. Magnesium alloys used in FML offer a number of advantages over other metals as they have low density, superior corrosion resistance and excellent electromagnetic shielding ability. It was also found that specific tensile strength of FML is higher than that of corresponding systems.
