This paper provides the experimentally set characteristics of durability of the polymer composite material HEXPLY 8552S / 37% / AGP280/C (hereinafter - HEXPLY) (laying +/- 90°, number of layers - 8) on the basis of carbon fiber with an applied coating of copper and titanium alloy. The sputtering of copper and titanium alloy is current conducting, thus allowing to apply power to it and heating the surface this way. It can be used for heating the surface of aircraft components by using the simplest method possible that does not require complex additional equipment, which also makes the aircraft construction heavier. Components of HEXPLY material are used to manufacture fuselage shell, primary elements of aircraft structure, as well as helicopter rotors. The continuous struggle for reducing weight of aircraft has resulted in the increasing use of composite materials in the structure of an airframe and its elements. Less studied properties of new composite materials require additional research of their characteristics. This paper provides estimates of structural characteristics of the studied composite material with an applied current-conducting coating. © 2020 Kaunas University of Technology.
