Abstract

Boeing wedge test data which indicate the influences of six surface pretreatments and four alloy compositions on the durability of adhesively bonded joints are reported. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data which indicate the effects of the same surface pretreatments and alloy compositions on the chemical compositions of the adherend surfaces are summarized. Possible correlations between the durability and X PS data are discussed. Three different methods of modifying the chromic acid anodize (Def 151) treatment of clad alloy adherends, in order to improve durability, are described and discussed.
