Advantages of Adhesive Bonding Over Alternative Assembly Techniques
The advantages of adhesive bonding over alternative assembly techniques are outlined in the following list:
- Improved stress distribution; stresses are evenly distributed over the entire bonding area thereby minimizing high localized stress concentrations.
- Outstanding fatigue resistance of adhesively bonded joints especially to cyclic loading.
- Superior resistance to mechanical shock and vibration even upon prolonged exposure to hostile environmental conditions.
- Ability to bond dissimilar as well as similar materials including metals, plastics, elastomers, glass, ceramics and wood.
- Outstanding humidity and corrosion resistance at both ambient and elevated temperature conditions.
- Superior thermal resistance.
- Availability of adhesive formulations for a wide range of service conditions from as high as 600°F to cryogenic environments.
- Adhesively bonded surfaces feature smooth contours free from gaps and external projections unlike rivets and other mechanical fasteners.
- Less critical tolerances acceptable for high-performance bonding compared to mechanical fastening methods.
- Substantial weight and significant cost savings without decrease of pertinent bonding strength parameters.
- Unexcelled dimensional stability and long-term durability.
- Techniques are available for disassembly of adhesively bonded assemblies without deleteriously affecting the individual components.
