Hi, in general, when it is better to use one or another?
On my specific case, I need to bond stainless steel to carbon fiber panel.
Appearance is not important.
The bond has to resist pull force, pull shocks, salt water.
UV resistance is desired but the part could be coated for UV protection so no big deal.

Thanks
Massimiliano

Would need to know more about the application, from what you've told us either adhesive would be fine. When bonding dissimilar materials, elongation is an important part of the adhesives properties, but semi-flexible structural epoxies like Araldite 2015-1 would be very good. In fact you can even get structural epoxies that you can tie in a knot they are so flexible. Car manufacturers will also use epoxies and polyurethanes to bond windscreens and other parts of the car, so it isn't as black and white as that.

What sort of vibration do you expect in the application? What sort of temperature cycles will it need to withstand? Is the bonded structure increasing the rigidity of the composite panel, like an I-beam, or is it purely an assembly joint?

Hi, it is an assembly joint.
Please see below the attached SS316L part (dark purple) and the actual shape the SS316L will have. Carbon fiber plate will have peelply texture, while SS will be properly etched.
As this is an outside application, temperature range can vary from 0 C in the winter to 40 C in the summer (not that much excursion during the days).
Vibration will be mostly low vibration from a nearby outboard (not directly connected to the part). Occasionally there could be pull forces.

I have both Araldite 2015 and the MMA from EC at hand, what do you suggest to use?
