ABSTRACT = {In the Fibre Metal Laminate (FML), Carbon Reinforced Aluminium laminate (CARALL), aluminium
is placed next to carbon fibres. The potential difference between the aluminium and carbon is
larger, leads to galvanic corrosion, which tries to bring down the durability of the FML. To bring
down the effect of corrosion, a material layer is introduced between fibres and aluminium so as
to separate them thus lowering the possibility of occurrence of corrosion. Another approach is
to coat the surfaces of aluminium with different proportions of aluminium oxide nano particles
prior to fabrication of the FML. For both the cases, corrosion rates and polarization resistances
are determined and compared. In addition, the surface morphological studies were carried out
using SEM to reveal the intensity of corrosion. The electrochemical results revealed that the
jute reinforced CAJRAL FML and CARAL FML coated with 10% alumina has better corrosion
resistance compared to other FMLs.},
