Experimental Determination of the Influence of Perforation of Adherend to the Adhesive Bond Strength

Abstract

The growth of different types of industrialization technology led to the appearance of several types of effective adhesives with perfect intensity and durability that can be used with different types of joints. As a result, the adhesive properties and work conditions play an indispensable role in determining the kind of application for which the adhesive can be used. This study deals with the experimental work of two types of adherends, pereforation and non-pereforation adherents, with a specific focus on one type of adhesion. To conduct the examination, two types of standard tests, D2095–96 and D-1002-99, were used in the single lap and Butt joint tests, respectively, to accomplish all tests. The results show that the ability of the perforation surfaces to enhance the strength is better than the non-perforated adherent while maintaining the flexibility. Thus, the research conducted substantial points about these kinds of surfaces and recommended the essential points to choose the suitable type of adherend.
