Abstract
This paper concerns a comparative study assessing the impact of various mechanical surface treatment methods on the strength of adhesively bonded joints. The surface treatment methods used were glass-bead blasting and steel shot blasting. The joints used sheet components of S235JR steel, bonded with one of two epoxy adhesives. Several configurations of adhesive joints were tested, based on specific blasting medium variants. The study included the analysis of substrate surface topography (Hommel-Etamic T8000 RC 120-400) and strength tests (Zwick/Roell Z150). The results show that the highest joint strength was developed by the assemblies with steel shot blasted adherends, which in addition exhibited the highest levels of surface roughness.
