Epoxy for CF to Titanium or Aluminum?
Epoxy for CF to Titanium or Aluminum?
(OP)
I'm building a lightweight shaft for a specialty tool handle, and need to bond a carbon fiber rod to Aluminum (7075) or CP5 grade Ti end cap.
The bond must be as rigid as possible, the "flex" epoxy isn't an option. I really need a high tensile and sheer strength.
Loctite® Hysol® 9430 has been recommended, and it looks like it will suffice for the CF to Al, but I have no idea how it will preform with Ti. Suggestions? My preference would be to have the same epoxy for both, but it's not an absolute requirement.
