This experimental work aims at evaluating the mechanical and failure behavior of adhesive-bonded single-lap joints made of a thermoplastic composite 3D-printed via Fused Filament Fabrication technology. Carbon fiber was selected as the reinforcement and used in the form of both short and continuous fibers embedded in the Nylon-6 matrix, forming...

This paper deals with the interfacial adhesion properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrates, prepared by using different treatment protocols selected on the basis of their different effectiveness, and bonded using a structural, high-strength epoxy adhesive. The alternative pre-bonding treatments were sodium hydroxide anodization and...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of surface pre-treatment on the durability of bonded joints between polyamide pieces. Various surface preparations of the substrates were carried out and a wedge test was performed to evaluate the joint behaviour over time. Joints composed of polyamide 6 and polyamide 66 were made using a...

The subject of this paper is the quantitative evaluation of the correlation which exists between the surface characteristics of parts in a titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V, and the mechanical strength of the joints, made linking these parts using a structural epoxy adhesive. In particular, the surfaces were prepared by using vacuum plasma as a...

This work emphasizes the critical need of surface preparation to improve the performance of adhesively bonded 3D printed Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) adherends obtained using Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). In particular, mechanical abrasion and two different plasma pre-treatments, i.e., Atmospheric Pressure Plasma (APP) and...
