Method of bonding a chrome steel to a fibre composite

摘要

A method of bonding a high chrome steel to a fiber composite. An epoxy primer is applied to the high chrome steel, the primer is dried, and thereafter the high chrome steel and the fiber composite are adhered together by using an epoxy adhesive. The invention also includes bonded joints that are made by the method and bonded assemblies having the bonded joint. A joint made using this bonded method has a high torque-to-failure, even after exposure to extreme ambient conditions of high temperature and high relative humidity. The bonding method is particularly suitable for use in bonding high chrome steel and fiber composite components for use in the aerospace industry.
