Abstract:
A method of joining a first body made of a first material to a second body made of a second material is disclosed. The method includes the steps of placing an adhesive between the first body and second body, moving the first body toward and into contact with the second body with the adhesive between the first body and the second body, pre-curing the adhesive, and curing the first body and second body in an oven. Pre-curing may be done by induction curing along a bonding line, pre-curing adhesive in a low temperature oven, or using a two-part adhesive.
