The Effect of Adhesive Strength on Thin-Walled Metal Surfaces Coated with Cataphoresis Application According to Adhesive Thickness

Every day, new types of lighter and more durable materials are being discovered for use in production. The methods of processing and joining these materials are also developing in parallel. Therefore, in addition to the development of materials and processing methods, some new regulations in joining processes also play an important role. The adhesion strength of thin-walled specimens that had primer paint and cataphoresis coating applied to them was investigated in this study in accordance with various adhesive thickness to increase the strength of the adhesive method. This investigation revealed that the adhesive bonding thickness and best surface coating in terms of adhesive strength, both of which were seen in the experiment. It is considered that it will play an important role in producing lower weight vehicles by joining different materials making them stronger.
