Mechanical Properties of Adhesive Joints Made with Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives

The paper aims to determine the mechanical properties of adhesive joints made with acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives. Two types double-sided tapes are used. Three construction materials used prepare joints: structural steel sheet (C45), aluminium alloy (EN-AW 5754), and titanium (Grade 2). Strength tests carried out both after conditioning time at room temperature (23 °C) subjected thermal shocks (500 cycles: +60 °C / –40 °C). based on DIN EN 1465 standard a Zwick/Roell Z150 testing machine. main conclusion from was positive effect strength bonded tape.
