(OP)
What the effective adhesives for bonding 5052 Al sheet 1mm thick to mild steel shs with a room temp cure. So far adhesives have focused on the usual Sikaflex products and some Epoxy resins. Has anyone got experience of structural acrylics for such a purpose? Mechanical fixing will also be used with the used of monel metal rivets to assist with peel performance.

RE: bonding sheet 5052 Al to mildsteel

Could you consider using roll bonded or explosive welded aluminum sheet on steel as a starting material to be shaped and manufactured as needed?
