Abstract
Weldbounding of stainless steel with an epoxy adhesive has been investigate d with respect to fatigue life. Factors affecting joint strength have been identified and summarized. The weld-bonded joints were mechanically pre-tre ated, and weld-bonded as flagged single-overlap, and cross-tension specimen s. The results were compared with spot welded specimens of identical config uration. The weld-bonded specimens have better fatigue properties than spot welded specimens.
