Abstract

The adhesive strength can be improved through surface treatment. The most common method is to improve physical bonding by varying the surface conditions. This study presents the effect of laser surface treatment on the adhesive strength of CFRP. The surface roughness was patterned using a 1064 nm laser. The effects of the number of laser shots and the direction and length of the pattern on the adhesion of the CFRP/CFRP single joint were investigated through tensile tests. Tests according to ASTM D5868 were performed, and the bonding mechanism was determined by analyzing the damaged surface after a fracture. The optimized number of the laser shots and the optimized depth of the roughness should be required to increase the bonding strength on the CFRP surface. When considering the shear stress in the tensile direction, the roughness pattern in the direction of 45° that increases the length of the fracture path in the adhesive layer resulted in an increase of the adhesive strength. The surface treatment of the bonding surface using a laser is a suitable method to acquire a mechanical bonding mechanism and improve the bonding strength of the CFRP bonding joint. The study on the optimized laser process parameters is required for utilizing the benefits of laser surface processing.

접착강도는 표면처리 기술을 통해 향상시킬 수 있다. 가장 일반적인 방법은 기계적인 결합력을 향상시킬 수 있는 접착 표면의 변화이다. 본 연구는 접착면의 레이저 표면 처리가 기계적 결합력에 미치는 영향과 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료(CFRP)의 접착 결합에 대해 설명한다. 1064 nm의 레이저를 활용하여 표면 조도를 패턴화했다. 레이저 샷의 수, 패턴의 방향, 길이가 CFRP/CFRP 단일 조인트의 접착력에 미치는 영향을 인장 시험을 통해 조사했다. ASTM D5868에 따른 시험을 수행하였으며, 파단 후 손상된 표면을 분석하여 결합 메커니즘을 결정했다. 접착 강도의 증가를 위해서는 CFRP 표면에 최적화된 레이저 샷의 수와 조도 깊이가 구성되어야 한다. 인장방향에서의 전단응력을 고려할 때, 접착층의 파단 경로를 길어지게 하는 45°의 방향의 조도가 접착강도의 증가를 야기했다. 그러나 레이저에 의한 조도의 길이는 접착 강도에 크게 영향을 주지 못했다. 레이저를 이용한 접착면의 표면처리는 기계적 결합 메커니즘을 확보하고 CFRP 접착 조인트의 접착 강도를 향상시키는 적합한 방법이라는 결론을 도출할 수 있다. 레이저 처리를 이용한 이점을 완전히 이용하기 위해서는 최적화된 레이저 공정 변수에 대한 연구가 반드시 필요하다.
