In this study, factors that improve bonded joints structural response through laser surface pre-treatment on aluminum surfaces were investigated. Specifically, the focus was put on analyzing the laser treatment conditions, formation of the interface structure, and behavior of interface strength at the adhesive interface. The results revealed a specific range of laser treatment conditions in which tensile shear strength and fracture mode are stable. Although laser-treated adhesive joints showed cohesive failure similar to that observed in sandblasting or chemical treatment during the double cantilever beam test, the fracture toughness value was improved by a factor of 2 and 1.5, respectively. The laser-induced microstructure on the aluminum interface contributed to the improvement of fracture toughness. Furthermore, observation of the adhesive layer using a microscopic mechanoluminescence measurement system revealed that changes in the 3D structure of the interface significantly altered the stress luminescence pattern reflecting strain. As a result, direct visualization of interface strengthening via laser processing was achieved.
