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.

MMM- A -132
(modified D1002)
"D1002" references the ASTM specification for lap shear specimens and testing. Our "D1002" plates are fabricated to meet the specification's dimensional requirements.

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.

7075-T6
"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.

"D1002 Solid Plate" references the ASTM specification for lap shear specimens (figure 2) and testing. Our "D1002 Solid Plates" are fabricated to meet the specification dimensional requirements however custom sizes are available at no extra charge. As with all of our plates, you can be assured of flat, stress-free plates with clean sharp edges. We have added alignment holes for your convenience to hold plates during the bonding process. Bonding fixtures are available upon request.
