Experimental investigation of Cu-SS electromagnetically assisted adhesive tube-to-tube joining: Its advantages over electromagnetic crimping

Electromagnetically assisted adhesive joining (EAAJ) is a novel hybrid joining technique combining the benefits of electromagnetic crimping and adhesive joining. This paper explores the possibility of creating an interference-fit tubular adhesive joint with improved strength and leak tightness. An acrylic-based structural Loctite 638 adhesive is used. Experiments are performed with and without (electromagnetic crimping) adhesives. Pull-out and...
