METHOD OF ADHESIVE SELECTION FOR COLD FORMING PRODUCT AND PROCESS

Aspects of this disclosure relate to a method for selecting an adhesive for bonding a cold-formed glass to a metal substrate and various cold-formed products. In one or more embodiments, the cold-formed products include a structural substrate comprising a curved surface and structural substrate coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), a cold-formed and curved glass substrate attached to the curved surface with an adhesive, the glass substrate comprising a glass substrate CTE, the structural substrate and adhesive forming a structural substrate/adhesive interface and the glass substrate and the adhesive forming a glass substrate/adhesive interface, wherein the glass substrate CTE and the structural substrate CTE differ, wherein the product withstands overlap shear failure as determined by modified test method ASTM D1002-10 at -40 DEG C, 24 DEG C, and 85 DEG C and tensile failure as determined by ASTM D897 at -40 DEG C, 24 DEG C, and 85 DEG C at one or both of the structural substrate/adhesive interface and the
