Produced 2007~2013. The interesting line is "may corrode and fail". Not the usual, "may crack and fail". CPSC reports exactly one incident with injury. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

In that this particular model is carbon-wrapped aluminum, I suppose that's a galvanic corrosion effect. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 Maybe. But galvanic between what and what? Surely carbon is inert. I think it more likely that there was inadequate adhesion, air got in, a further layer of aluminum's self-defense layer was formed, furthering delimitation, and presto, a failure. One.

"The carbon fibers are electrically conductive and electrochemically very noble." Of course. Everything follows. I was assuming intelligent specification and high-quality execution. (And, with only one failure, quality design and manufacture may indeed have been present.) I don't have a lot of carbon fiber experience, but my understanding, from glass fiber (which I avoided when I could back in the day, for instance preferring instead to design my 68ft City of Germiston in molded wood, a proven-superb decision) practice is that the only good mixed matrix is made by totally enclosing the glass in the resin, leaving zero touchy-feely interface surfaces, for instance by anodizing ali to be locked into fiberglass as local reinforcing. AJ Electricity is weird, and less well understood than we pretend |

Yah, I didn't have my brain in gear before I engaged my keyboard. As a sailor, I actually used to know something about catalytic effects, which is why I avoided FRP back when I designed my City of Germiston and built it in molded wood instead. But I've given galvanic reaction only a few thoughts in between, mainly in connection with ultra-fi valve amps I designed and built, one set of which was specified for shipboard installation. Andre Jute Unlike the clowns who insist on being right all the time, and consequently know very little and have no friends, I make a new friend every time someone has to straighten out what I have forgotten I knew or, of course, never knew. |

In that this particular model is carbon-wrapped aluminum, I suppose that's a galvanic corrosion effect. I've read a number of articles about "fiberglass" and aluminum which advised against fiberglass/aluminum joins. The articles stated that corrosion could creep between the aluminum and the epoxy bond. I suspect that in the case of CF composites what was reported to as simply "corrosion" was actually a galvanic corrosion. It might be noted that this phenomena has been reported since the 1960's. -- Cheers, John B. |
