Adhesives — Determination of dynamic resistance to cleavage of high strength adhesive bonds under impact conditions — Wedge impact method ISO 11343:1993

Publication date:   Aug 12, 1993

Scope

The method consists of the determination of the average cleavage resistance, expressed as force or energy, of the adhesive bond between two metallic adherends. The cleavage corresponds to the separation of the adherends by a wedge, moving at high speed, whose displacement is initiated by an impact. The method allows a choice of sheet metal substrate corresponding to those materials frequently used in industry, e.g. for automotive applications.
