Summary:

The commercial vehicle industry uses many parts which comprise of rubber and steel as base materials. These components are major shock absorbers in vehicles and help in reducing the transfer of vibration from the engine and road to the driver. These parts require a complicated amalgamation between very two different materials. The two materials need to pre-treated so as to obtain a bond of maximum strength which provides good life to parts experiencing continuous, unpredictable and sudden loads. Metal substrates are usually pre-treated, which has a great impact on the strength of bonding, for which various physical and chemical techniques are adopted. The aim of this paper is to present a comparative study as to which surface pre-treatment has an edge over other techniques in terms of separation force required to break the bonding between the two parts. The study also presents a cost comparison between the techniques so that the best possible technique can be put to use in the commercial vehicle industry
