Evoluation of bond efficiency of aluminium- polyethylene adhesive joint

Abstract

The main purpose of this article concerns the application of ultrasonic methods to predict the limits of adhesive joint efficiency. Ultrasonic data are related to metal-polymer adhesion phenomena by studying joints strength, fracture morphoiogy and surface chemistry (ESCA).

Cohesive or adhesive joint failures are predictabie by non-destructive inspection of metal-adhesive interface.
