Research abstract

A PROCESS FOR PREPARING ALUMINUM ALLOYS FOR ADHESIVE BONDING IS PROPOSED WHICH CAN SIGNIFICANTLY SIMPLIFY ADHESIVE BONDED REPAIR IN THE FIELD. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH EXPLORES THE FEASIBILITY OF USING NON-HAZARDOUS SURFACE TREATMENTS ON ALUMINUM ALLOYS WHICH PROVIDE ADHESIVE BONDS WITH EQUAL OR GREATER STRENGTH AND DURABILITY TO THOSE PREPARED BY CONVENTIONAL CHROMIC ACID ETCHING PROCESSES. THE NOVEL SURFACE TREATMENTS SHOULD NOT ONLY PREPARE THE SURFACES FOR BONDING WITH CONVENTIONAL ADHESIVES BUT OFFER A MEANS OF PROTECTING THE ADHESIVE-ADHEREND INTERFACE FROM ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSES SUCH AS HYDROLYTIC DEGRADATION.
