Hi all,
When bonding aluminium alloys, an oxide layer is needed between (I think) the substrate and the adhesive.
Why?
And does this oxide layer have to be supplied by some kind of primer, or is a natural oxide film acceptable? Does anyone know what chemical purpose the primer provides, or is this still an industry secret?
Cheers
