Q

what is critical to the structural strength of an aircraft wooden structure. To ensure the structural integrity of a wood joint, the bonding process must be carefully controlled?

A

bonding process

18
Q

Wood bonding process

A

Preparation

18
Q

Considering the following periods when applying adhesive

A

pot life
open assembly time
closed assembly type
pressing

19
Q

What is used to squeeze adhesive out into a thin, continuous film between the wood layers. This forces air from the joint and
brings the wood surfaces into intimate contact. Pressure should be applied to the joint before the adhesive becomes too thick to flow and is accomplished by means of clamps, presses, or other mechanical devices.

A

Clamping pressure
