I am part of a design team for my university where we are building an off-road car. This year, our team is investigating the possibility of making some of our drive shafts out of carbon fiber, but we are unsure of whether we could make a strong bond between carbon fiber and steel. I have read that aluminum and carbon fiber should be separated due to galvanic corrosion, is this the same with steel? Are there any other factors which should be considered?
