QA of Joining Processes in Automotive Production
Requirements on a non-destructive testing method Detection of the relevant flaws/imperfections Automation possible, ideally contact-less Simple evaluation of results, robust testing procedure
Conventional methods of joints quality assurance Process control systems (monitoring of adhesive
beads, force-displacement measurement, etc.) Manually carried out destructive tests (random checks) Tactile, manual measurement of comparator figures
Within the joining process a multitude of flaws/imperfections in joints can occour
Application of active thermography for quality assurance of joints?

Imperfections of Adhesively Bonded Joints
Various flaws of adhesive bonds during manufacturing processes can occur:
Due to faulty adhesive application Trapped air in adhesive seam,
i.e. voids and porosities Necking Impurities of adhesive Inhomogeneous adhesive layers Kissing/Weak Bonds
Due to handling stresses or internal strains Cracks Delaminations
Due to insufficient mixing ratios or curing Hardening failures
