Abstract: The long‐term durability of steel‐to‐steel bonds is affected by the ingress of water in a bondline. Sorption of water by an adhesive changes its physical properties and degrades the adhesion between the adhesive and the ...

Abstract: The feasibility of connecting steel‐to‐steel with adhesives is examined. Specifically, the mechanical properties of structural adhesives, fabrication procedures, and properties of bonds are discussed. The mechanical ...
