When most people think of metal bonding their first thoughts turned to welding materials together. However some products are too fragile for this high heat solution, and there are many manufacturers that use metal bonding adhesives to repair, maintain and manufacture delicate metal materials. Metal adhesive can be used on a wide array of different metal types.
Metal Adhesive Metal Types:
- -iron
- nickel
- stainless steel
- steel
- zinc
- titanium
- magnesium
- beryllium
- aluminum
- cadmium
- cast-iron
- copper
and more
Metal adhesive can come in many different styles as well and the type of metal adhesive that you should use really depends on the materials that you are using as well as the overall requirements that you might have is a manufacturer. Some metal adhesives will be able to stand up to higher degrees of temperature making them perfect for use in heavy machinery or the auto industry, where as others have lower operating temperatures making them perfect for repair jobs or small-scale products where manufactured components won't be exposed to heat.
The good news about metal adhesive is that it bonds very well to a wide array of different materials and can offer extremely high performance results with very good long-term durability. While some might not consider it to be a strong alternative to welding, metal adhesive can stand up just as well as welded pieces. Metal adhesive can also stand long-term exposure to shock and vibration as well as impacts once it has cured.
Metal bonding adhesives can come in the form of epoxies, silicones, polyurethanes, poly sulfides, UV cures and more. Finding the right type of metal bonding adhesive for your project usually involves
