Surface Treatment and Adhesive Interface Investigation of a New Type of Aluminum Lithium Alloy

Abstract:

A new type of aluminum lithium alloy Al-Li-S-4 was investigated in this paper. Process of phosphoric acid anodization and method of making bonding joint sample was introduced. Micrographs of plate surface were study by scanning electron microscopy. The pattern of aluminum alloy was modified after anodization. Plates were bonded with FM94 film adhesive and cured at 121°Cin the special clamping fixture. Morphology of bonding sample cross-section interface was investigated after bonding and curing process.
