Handbook of Adhesion Technology

Abstract

Modern cars contain about 15 kg of adhesive (IVK 2017). Adhesives are used to avoid corrosion, to stiffen the car body, to obtain a better crash performance, to join different materials that are not weldable, and for sealing purposes. Adhesives are used in powertrain and car body applications. In the car body, up to 200 m of structural adhesives are applied. The trend toward a new lightweight design leads to the necessity to join different materials in a material mix. Here, the use of high strength steels, light metals, and fiber-reinforced plastics has expanded extremely in the last years. In terms of adhesive bond, one has to deal with different surfaces and thermal expansion. Additionally, the adhesive has to act as an electrical insulation to prevent the joint from forming contact corrosion. In this chapter, typical applications for automobiles are shown. Additionally, suitable adhesive properties and surface treatments are discussed.
