Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A composite laminate component is disclosed. The composite laminate component may comprise a composite laminate including a plurality of sub-laminates, and a metallic layer encapsulating one or more of the sub-laminates. The sub-laminates may be joined by a bond between the metallic layers.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A composite laminate component, comprising: a composite laminate; and a metallic layer applied to at least one surface of the composite laminate. 2 . The composite laminate component of claim 1 , wherein the composite laminate is a polymer matrix composite. 3 . The composite laminate component of claim 1 , wherein the composite laminate is a metal matrix composite. 4 . The composite laminate component of claim 1 , wherein the composite laminate is a ceramic matrix composite. 5 . The composite laminate component of claim 1 , wherein the metallic layer encapsulates the composite laminate. 6 . The composite laminate component of claim 1 , wherein the composite laminate includes a plurality of sub-laminates, and wherein the metallic layer is applied at an interface between at least two of the sub-laminates. 7 . The composite laminate component of claim 1 , wherein the composite laminate includes a plurality of sub-laminates, and wherein the metallic layer is applied to a surface of each of the sub-laminates that lies at an interface with another sub-laminate. 8 . The composite laminate component of claim 7 , wherein the metallic layers at the interface between the sub-laminates are joined by bonds. 9 . The composite laminate component of claim 1 , wherein the composite laminate includes a plurality of sub-laminates, and wherein a metallic layer encapsulates each of the sub-laminates. 10 . The composite laminate component of claim 9 , wherein the metallic layers encapsulating the sub-laminates are joined by bonds. 11 . The composite laminate component of claim 10 , wherein the composite laminate component is further encapsulated in a metallic layer. 12 . The composite laminate component of claim 10 , wherein the composite laminate component is further encapsulated in a polymeric material. 13 . A composite laminate component, comprising: a composite laminate including a plurality of sub-laminates; and a metallic layer encapsulating at least one of the sub-laminates. 14 . The composite laminate component of claim 13 , wherein a metallic layer encapsulates each of the sub-laminates. 15 . The composite laminate component of claim 14 , wherein the sub-laminates are joined by bonds between the metallic layers. 16 . The composite laminate component of claim 15 , wherein the bonds are formed by transient liquid phase bonding. 17 . The composite laminate component of claim 15 , wherein the bonds are formed by adhesive bonding. 18 . A method for fabricating a composite laminate component, comprising: providing a plurality of sub-laminates; and applying a metallic layer to a surface of at least one of the sub-laminates; stacking the sub-laminates; and joining the sub-laminates to provide the composite laminate component. 19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein applying a metallic layer to a surface of at least one of the sub-laminates comprises encapsulating each of the sub-laminates in a metallic layer. 20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein joining the sub-laminates comprises forming bonds between the metallic layers by transient liquid phase bonding or adhesive bonding.
