Abstract

Thermosonic bonding of aluminum on polyphenylene sulfide was carried out in order to examine the effect of surface roughening of aluminum on the joint strength. Repeated chemical treatment of aluminum by immersion in aqueous sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid solutions increased its surface roughness (Ra ~25 μm) and surface area (~445% increase). Consequently, the bonding strength (~1.8N in average) was enhanced through anchoring effects.
