Reports on the role of cohesive strength, adhesive strength and oxide thickness in the adherence of porcelain veneered on pure titanium. Use of titanium and its alloys for metal porcelain restorations; Increase of thickness with decrease of bonding strength; Speculation on the degradation of oxide adherence.

The aim of the present article is to compare the strength of the adhesive lap joints of the selected materials used in aviation. The joints were made in the similar and dissimilar systems with the use of three epoxy adhesives. Three different adherends were used: the EN AW-7075 aluminium alloy, the aramid-epoxy composite and the carbon-epoxy composite. Three adhesive compounds based on the Epidian 53 epoxy resin and three types of curing agents: two amine curing agents—Z1 (triethylenetetramine curing agent) and IDA, and one polyamide curing agent—PAC (polyaminoamide C) were used to make the adhesive joints. Three variants of similar joints and two variants of dissimilar joints were prepared for the tests. The shear strength was defined according to the ISO 4587 standard, with the use of Zwick/Roell 150 testing machine. In addition, the joined materials' surface roughness was measured. Based on the strength test's results, it was observed that the highest strength was obtained by the adhesive joints made with the Epidian 53/PAC/100:80 adhesive compound and that, in the majority of cases; similar joints show higher strength.
