The structural adhesive have been manufactured for improvement of bonding process between CFRP and metal. The optimal condition for bonding process were investigated by evaluating the lap shear strength with amount of adhesive and curing time and the surface treatment of the CFRP. To confirm proper adhesion conditions, the fracture sections between CFRP and metal was observed using reflection microscope. Not only the improvement of the adhesion condition was important, but surface treatment on CFRP was also important. The optimal curing temperature was at $180^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes. The improvement for adhesive property was confirmed After surface treatment on CFRP. The optimal amount of structural adhesive for bonding between CFRP and metal was $1.5{\times}10^{-3}g/mm^2$. Through the optimization of bonding process, the improvement of mechanical property over 10% is confirmed in comparison with existing adhesive.

Recently, as demand for high-strength, lightweight materials has increased, there has been great interest in joining with metals. In the case of mechanical bonding, such as bolting and riveting, chemical bonding using adhesives is attracting attention as stress concentration, cracks, and peeling occur. In this paper, surface treatment was performed to improve the adhesive strength, and the change in adhesive strength was analyzed. For the adhesive strength test were conducted with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic(CFRP), CR340(Steel), and Al6061(Aluminum), and laser and plasma surface treatment were used. After plasma surface treatment, the adhesive strength improved by 7.3% and 39.2% in CFRP-CR340 and CFRP-Al6061, respectively. CR340-Al6061 was improved by 56.2% in laser surface treatment. Surface free energy(SFE) was measured by contact angle after plasma treatment, and it is thought that the adhesion strength was improved by minimizing damage through a chemical reaction mechanism. For laser surface treatment, it is thought that creates a rough bonding surface and improves adhesive strength due to the mechanical interlocking effect. Therefore, surface treatment is effect to improve adhesive strength, and based on this paper, the long-term fatigue test will be conducted to prevent fatigue failure, which is a representative cause of actual structural damage.
