METHODS FOR DETERMINING A MINIMUM WELD DISTANCE FOR ADHESIVES

摘要

A method of manufacturing a vehicle frame assembly, includes: (i) receiving threshold temperature data for an adhesive; (ii) defining an adhesive zone wherein which adhesive will be applied with respect to a first and second vehicle structural member; and (iii) determining a minimum distance a weld can be applied on the first structural member with respect to the adhesive zone based on empirical data.
