"AN INVESTMENT IN KNOWLEDGE ALWAYS PAYS THE BEST INTEREST" BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
In this study, 0.8 mm thick 2024-T3 aluminum sheet and AZ31 magnesium sheet are used as metal matrix elements. Laminated composite materials were produced in a hot press device after stacking (Metal/Prepreg/Metal/Prepreg/Metal) in the order of 3/2 stack by using carbon fiber and epoxy resin as the reinforcement phase between the metal matrix elements. After the composite materials were produced, tensile tests were carried out and optical microscopy analyzes were carried out to determine the damage mechanisms that occurred later.
