A CFRP material with an Al alloy sheet attached to or a CFRTP material with an Al alloy sheet attached to is prepared by joining an Al alloy sheet with a CFRP material or a CFRTP material by adhesion or by injection molding. The surface of this Al alloy sheet and a surface of metal material such as Ti, etc., are subjected to chemical treatment. After this chemical treatment, the CFRP material with an Al alloy sheet attached to or the CFRTP material with an Al alloy sheet attached to and the metal material are inserted into a metallic mold for injection molding so as to have a gap therebetween. High crystalline thermoplastic resin is injected into this gap to join the metal material with the Al alloy sheet, thus obtaining a laminated composite.

An embodiment relates to an ultrasonic additive manufacturing process, comprising joining a foil comprising a bulk metallic glass to a substrate; and forming a cladded composite comprising the foil and the substrate; wherein a thickness of the cladded composite is greater than a critical casting thickness of the bulk metallic glass, wherein the cladded composite comprises a cladding layer of the bulk metallic glass on the substrate and the bulk metallic glass comprises approximately 0% crystallinity, approximately 0% porosity, less than 50 MPa thermal stress, approximately 0% distortion, approximately 0 inch heat affected zone, approximately 0% dilution, and a strength of about 2,000-3,500 MPa.

A laminated body includes: a supporting base material; an adhesive layer; a metal layer; and a substrate in this order. The metal layer contains at least one metal selected from the group consisting of copper, titanium, palladium, gold, nickel, tungsten, and molybdenum. The metal layer preferably contains at least one metal selected from the group consisting of copper, titanium, palladium, gold, and nickel.

A composite material structure includes a first metal member and a second metal member bonding to the first metal member. A bonding surface is formed therebetween. A first hole is through the first metal member. A circular bonding line is formed at a junction of a wall of the first hole and the bonding surface. A sleeve protrudes from the second metal member into the first hole, and covers the bonding line. A groove indents from the first metal member. The groove has a bottom surface located in the same plane with a top surface of the sleeve. A processing method of the composite material structure is also provided. The sleeve covers the bonding line between the first metal member and the second metal member, which allows the composite material structure to provide an improved sealing performance.

A thermally expandable sheet includes: a first thermally expansive layer that is formed on one side of a base and contains a first thermally expandable material; and a second thermally expansive layer that is formed on the first thermally expansive layer and contains a second thermally expandable material, wherein the second thermally expandable material further contains white pigment.

A rail for the fastening of equipment elements, such as, in particular, seats, in aircraft, includes a holding region for connection to an equipment element of an aircraft, and a support region to fasten the rail to a carrier element of the aircraft. The rail has a metallic shell which is, for example, made of titanium and which is filled with a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic filler material which is reinforced by short fibers. To produce the rail, a metallic molded part is used as a casting mold and is filled, for example by injection, with the filler material and, after the rail has been produced, forms the metallic shell for the filler material.
