Bonding. The joining together of all metal parts of an aeroplane to form a continuous electrical conductor so that no sparks are caused between separate parts of the structure when they are charged with static electricity.
BONDING Definition Bonding is not a new process in aircraft building. In fact, bonding has been used in aircraft construction since the very beginning. The technique of gluing wood structures together has been used for years.

Epoxy composite construction consists of bonding all of the materials and parts of the craft together with epoxy resin. The resulting structure has physical characteristics superior to the components by themselves.
These are in turn covered with a skin of sheet aluminum, attached by riveting or by bonding with special adhesives.
The prop blades are of wood core construction with composite skins and aluminium or polycarbonate bonding edge inserts.
The first alloy is used as the bottom (bonding) layer, to fuse the top layer to the brass liner. The second alloy, developed for superior hardness, forms the top layer.
