Research on Adhesive Bonding and Bonding and Surface Characteristics of Metals at Fokker-VFW

摘要

In this document background information is given about the research work that has been carried out on various aspects of the strength and durability of adhesive bonded joints for aerospace. applications. That work includes studies on the relation between surface characteristics of metals and the durability of adhesion and;corrosion resistance of bonded joints, the research and development on innovative non-destructive adhesion-and cohesion testing methods and adhesion characteris¬tics of esteroil resistant, paints. The capabilities in this field of the Fokker-VFW Technological Centre at Schiphol, The Netherlands are given.
