The objective of this study is to investigate the surface roughness that effect the capability of adhesive with adding aluminium powder and 63/37 Sn-Pb soft solder powder to the epoxy to increase the mechanical strength of joints. The adhesive strength of the joints was determined by utilizing the single-lap shear test. As seen from the experiments, the surface roughness has an important effect on the strength of adhesive bonded joints. Experimental results show that joints prepared by adhesive which was modified, adding in the amount of 5 wt% 63/37 Sn-Pb powder have more mechanical strength than joints compared to one which is prepared by adding aluminium powder with different ratios as 5, 25,50 wt%.
