So,
Carbon fiber is 6 times stronger than steel. here are my thoughts. take off the outer rocker. Fix the rust with new steel. sandblast the area Lay on a layer of CF directly to the inner long front to back, wrap in to the bottom and top horizontal layers. when using CF and bonding it to steel, I have read that you would use an epoxy resin to bond it directly to the steel, so it would be the same as putting por 15 on steel (por 15 is an epoxy layer) So, thoughts? plus, minus?

Sorry to drone on,,,but this stuff is facinating and its happening out there...
"Based on the worldwide research and development work, the use of CFRP strips to rehabilitate structures is already routine for many firms in Western Europe and Japan. In the U.S., Sika has introduced Sika CarboDur, which is a CFRP laminate used to strengthen concrete, steel, or wooden structures. CFRP materials will not replace traditional construction materials, but will be used increasingly to supplement them as needed." Quoted from http://www.new-technologies.org/ECT/Civil/cfrp.htm Cool stuff.. And lots of R&D has already been done... All the different epoxies are being tested in labs and all I have to do is read to find what I am looking for... God, I than Al Gore for inventing the Internet. Rich |
