AB - <p>The Ohmic heating behavior and electrical property of the carbon fabric/green epoxy composite laminates
filled with various concentrations of unmilled fly ash and milled fly ash were investigated in present
work. We used an infrared camera to record the change in surface temperature of composites over a
period of time by varying the voltage from 0 to 10 V. The results show that the composite containing
low concentration of fly ash exhibited the optimum Ohmic heating behavior under different applied
voltages. The maximum temperatures of epoxy/carbon composites were adjustable by controlling the
concentrations of fly ash fillers as well as the applied voltage. When a certain voltage was applied to
the composite, the surface temperature of composite raised to the maximum within 20 s and became
stable, then cool down to room temperature in 120 s. In addition, the milled fly ash filled epoxy/carbon
composites were found to reveal improvement in electrical heating performance and structural stability
over the unmilled fly ash filled composites.</p>
