Abstract

The paper deals with the joining of dissimilar steels by adhesive bonding. The base materials for the experimental work were deep-drawn low-carbon steel DC04, and hot-dip galvanized HSLA steel HX340LAD+Z. Adhesive bonding was performed using rubber-based and epoxy-based adhesives. The research aimed to verify the importance of surface preparation of steel substrates using a formulation with organically modified silica nanoparticles and epoxy organic functional groups, where one end of the functional group can be incorporated into the organic binder of the coating material and the other end can be firmly bonded to substances of an inorganic nature (metals). Since the binder base of adhesives is very similar to that of coatings, verifying the performance of this surface preparation when interacting with the adhesive is necessary. The load-bearing tensile shear capacity of single-lapped joints and the resistance of the joints against corrosion-induced disbanding in a climate chamber were tested. The energy dissipated by the joints up to fracture was calculated from the load-displacement curves. Bonded joints with organosilane were compared with joints without surface preparation and joints prepared by chroman-free zirconate passivation treatment. Exposure of the joints in the climatic chamber did not cause a relevant reduction in the characteristics of the joints. Organosilicate formulation was proved effective when bonding ungalvanized steels with a rubber-based structural adhesive, where it improves the bond quality between the adhesive and the substrate.
Keywords: adhesive bonding; load-bearing capacity of joints; dissipated energy up to fracture adhesive bonding; load-bearing capacity of joints; dissipated energy up to fracture
