In order to improve the electromagnetic shielding performance of CFRP structures, a series of CFRP samples were surface metallized with combined chemical then electrochemical plating, coating conducting paints and metal spraying of aluminium, respectively. The shielding performances with different surface metallization methods were compared, and the investigation of thickness of metallization layer and the composites was carried out, which showed that the increase in thickness of metallization layers and the composites contributed to the increase of shielding performance. As a result, we have found a superior improvement on shielding performance with surface metalized in nickel plating comparing with metal spraying, which could substitute the commonly used method of metal spraying with aluminium.
