Plasma Surface Preparation for Multi-Material Bonding in Automotive Lightweight Design

Adhesives fail on surfaces that are contaminated or chemically inert. Plasma treatment as surface preparation for adhesive bonding cleans and activates those surfaces simultaneously, giving structural adhesives a prepared substrate to bond to reliably. What Makes Multi-Material Bonding Difficult in Lightweight Vehicle Design? Lightweighting in automotive design and manufacturing replaces steel with aluminum, carbon fiber […]
