Bonding is now a full partner with bolting, riveting and welding as an assembly method. Joining materials with adhesives offers significant benefits over mechanical methods of uniting two materials.
An adhesive distributes loads and stresses over the total joint area to give a more even distribution of static and dynamic loads, instead of concentrating these at high stress points. The bonded joint is therefore more resistant to flex and vibration than, for example, a riveted joint. It forms a seal as well as a bond. This eliminates corrosion which often occurs in a mechanical fastened joint.
The growing variety of adhesives available in the marketplace makes selection of the proper product a challenging experience. Proper choice is based on knowledge of suitability of the adhesive for the particular substrates to be bonded, appropriate surface preparation, correct curing, and matching the strength and durability characteristics of the adhesive to its intended use.
