or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes.

A. Aluminum Overlap Shear

Overlap shear strength was measured on FPL etched 1" wide by 1/2" overlap

specimens. The bonds were made from 2 panels of 4" x 7" x 0.063", 2024 T-3

clad aluminum bonded together and cut into 1" wide specimens. The separation

rate of the testing jaws was 0.1"/minute. Tests similar to ASTM D-1002.

B. Steel Overlap Shear

Overlap shear strength was measured on 1" wide by 1/2" overlap bonds of 0.035"

cold rolled steel. The steel was prepared by MEK solvent wiping, abrading and

MEK wiping. The separation rate of the testing jaws was 0.1"/minute. Tests

similar to ASTM D-1002.

C. Aluminum T-Peel

T-Peel bonds were measured on 1" wide specimens cut from two FPL etched 8" x

8" x 0.032", 2024 T-3 clad aluminum panels bonded together. The separation rate

of the testing jaws was 20"/minute. Tests similar to ASTM D-1876.

Steel T-Peel

T-Peel bonds were measured on two 1" wide specimens of 0.035" cold rolled

steel bonded together. The steel was prepared by MEK wiping, abrading and

MEK wiping. The separation rate of the testing jaws was 20"/minutes. Tests

similar to ASTM D-1876.
