Abstract The durability of adhesively bonded titanium structures is a topic of concern in a variety of fields today. There appears to be a definite connection between durability and surface pretreatment of the adherend. A variety of pretreatments are reported for Ti-6-41-3. For example, the chromic acid anodization (CAA) pretreatment has received a lot of attention in creating surfaces resulting in improved durability of adhesive bonds.
