Abstract
A method for forming a hybrid structure is provided. The method includes applying a sealant to a first component fabricated from a first material, coupling an isolation sheet to the sealant, and coupling a second component to the isolation sheet. The isolation sheet and the second component are fabricated from a second material that is different than the first material to facilitate preventing formation of a galvanic cell within the hybrid structure.
Claims20
A method for forming a hybrid structure, said method comprising:
- applying a sealant to a first component fabricated from a first material;
- coupling an isolation sheet to the sealant;
- and
- coupling a second component to the isolation sheet, wherein the second component and the isolation sheet are both fabricated from a second material that is different than the first material to facilitate preventing formation of a galvanic cell within the hybrid structure.

A method for use in forming an assembly, said method comprising:
- forming a sub-assembly that includes a first component fabricated from a first material, a sealant applied to the first component, and an isolation sheet coupled to the sealant, wherein the isolation sheet is fabricated from a second material that is different than the first material;
- installing the sub-assembly in the assembly;
- and
- coupling a second component to the sub-assembly along the isolation sheet, wherein the second component is fabricated from the second material.
