PRODUCTS

All Arch aluminum products are precision, low-stress machined  preserving the materials mechanical properties.  These properties are critical for lap shear testing to reduce bending during test,  thereby maintaining the highest possible shear failure mode.

MIL-Spec

"MMM-A-132" references the Federal specification for metal to metal bonding adhesive.  The "MMM-A-132" plates are nearly identical to our "D1002" plates with the exception of being ~5.1" long instead of 4".  The extra length is convenient when using large (ie MTS 22 kip) test grips with limited space between grips to insert bonded specimens.

Military lap shear design
"Mil-Spec" references a design used by US government research labs.  Individual lap shears ultimately are 1" x 4" however the plates slots are wider and holes are used for plate to plate alignment.  Design requires post machining to separate  each specimen (other designs allow for snapping apart).  Requires custom bonding fixture.
