Hi.
is it any idea to connect and bond a carbon tube to a metal joint strongly?
I want to build a vehicle that is something like bike.
to build the vehicle, I will use some carbon tubes and metal joints.
and I will bond the tube and the joint.
but I don`t know the best way to bond them.
Is it enough strong if I insert the tube into the joint and bond them?
because of shocks and vibration, the connection will be broken in the future?
or should I reinforce the connection after I bond the tube and the joint?and how to do that?
Thanks,
Hietaka

The best way is with either a metal insert that slides closely into the inside of the tube, or a sleeve on the outside.
That way you can then bond over a large surface area which means the loads are spread over a greater area which is ideal way to get a nice strong bond.
