Hemming is the application where adhesive bonds inner and outer panel edges in automotive closures such as metal hoods, doors, trunks, or tailgates. This automotive panel bond of two thinner panels offers considerable weight savings over a single, thick panel. The precision of automotive hemming is...
Automotive structural adhesive application has been growing in automotive body-in-white (BIW) applications because of ongoing requirements for vehicle weight reduction, increased safety, and increased reliability. High-strength adhesives, combined with mechanical joining methods, can increase an automotive st...

The composition of both pieces is similiar except that higher levels of glass are used in the structural panel for greater strength. The two panels are subsequently joined together with a structural adhesive to form the final hood assembly which becomes mounted on the vehicle. In this chapter, ...
It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using this 3M panel bond agent. It can be used for different tasks like bonding door skins, roof skins, quarter panels, and box sides. Under special conditions, this efficient auto body panel adhesive can be used for repairing bum...
A visible deformation on the exterior surface of adhesive-joined automotive body panels along the adhesive application line is called bond-line read-out (BLRO). A 2D finite element model with isotropic linear elasticity and plain strain approximation for a plate/hat design was developed to investiga...
