Abstract

The utilization of adhesive bond joints in automotive and aerospace assemblies is increasing as the selection of materials used to build these assemblies broadens. Adhesive bonding becomes the primary or secondary means of joining when widely dissimilar materials are used to form an assembly. Adhesive bonds are often used in secondary joining applications with welds or rivets, to enhance stiffness, reduce corrosion, improve load distribution and extend durability. The importance of adhesives is demonstrated by their extensive use in such key industries as nuclear power industry, aerospace, automotive, boats industry, computers, and telecommunications, among others.
