ABSTRACT:
A method of composite joining and repairing includes providing complementary matching and interlocking bondline surface configurations in composite materials and the material to which the composite materials are to be bonded, interlocking the two materials at their bondline, and thereafter adhering at least one patch onto both of the surfaces of the interlocked combination of materials, thereby securing the composite to the other material. Anisotropic materials can be adhered to isotropic materials by this method. The advantages of the method include increased bond strength resulting from the joining. Consequently, fiberglass vehicle parts can be repaired, to achieve the original strength of the part, or in the alternative, parts can be originally machined in the bondline configurations so as to enable easy manufacture of new vehicle components.
