Abstract
For adhesive bonding of non-pretreated steel plates in the automotive industry - that means a large-scale production - specific adhesives are developed. The adhesion mechanisms, especially the interaction between steel surface, corrosion protective oil and adhesive were investigated. Investigations concerning the long-term stability of these structural bondings were carried out, too. The results were transferred and verified with real contruction. The result of all these activities is the development of a combinated joining method (spot welding and adhesive bonding) as a joining technology for a large-scale series production.
