Abstract:

The self-devised electroghermal damage test device was employed to test the current and thermal field of CFRP samples. Then, the relationship between electroghermal temperature and current intensity was gained,which is liner relationship and the temperature increases with the increase of current intensity. The tests of the mechanical properties of CFRP samples initially reveal that with the increase of electroghermal temperature,the tensile strength of CFRP samples increases first then turns stable and at last decreases, and, the Poisson's ratio of the CFRP samples decreases first then stable and lastly decrease. In addition, the unstable and excessive contact resistance between CFRP samples and electrode was successively solved through optimization of copper electroplating process and the precise control of pretightening force. The contact resistance can be controlled below 0.39Ωand it has a good repeatability.

Key words: CFRP, electroghermal damage, contact resistance, mechanical properties
