hi, 
 i am trying to attach hinges to carbon composite for Double Cantilever Beam specimen using adhesive. lot of them are failing. Please suggest any alternate ways

Hi suman,

What adhesive and process are you using presently to bond the hinges to the composite? Is the bond failing between the adhesive and the composite or the adhesive and the metal?


A good heavy key of the surfaces to be bonded as well as through cleaning/de-greasing to ensure there are no surface contaminants which could otherwise affect the bond should form a good basis for the adhesive.
