Abstract
As the name Fibre Metal Laminates (FML) already suggests, they are a mixture of sheet material and fibres, bonded by an adhesive. Arall and Glare are the first and second generation FMLs respectively However, other potential variants have been developed with success as well. In the early nineties a carbon titanium laminate was developed for operating temperatures up to 300 °C, while at this moment, a glass aluminium laminate is under development for elevated temperatures up to 180 °C. As well as developing other laminates, different manufacturing processes have also been investigated. For example, a special manufacturing process for seamless tubes was successfully developed.
