Advantage of Adhesive Bonding

Advantage of Adhesive Bonding -
1. Virtually any material or combination of materials can be joined.
2. It joins materials of all sizes and shapes.
3. Very thin and quite delicate materials, such as foils, can be joined to each other or to heavier sections.
4. Adhesives can ensure smooth, unbroken surface contours without protrusions, gaps or holes.
5. An adhesive seals joints against a variety of environments, insulates against heat, and prevents electrolytic corrosion.
6. Because of the large amount of contact area that usually can be obtained, the total joint strength often compares favourably with that resulting from other methods of attachment.
7. Because continuous bonding can be obtained throughout a joint, good load distribution and fatigue resistance can be obtained. Adhesives serve to damp shock and vibration.
8 Adhesive bonding distributes stresses uniformly over a large area, eliminating localized stress concretizations.
9. Adhesive joints may be cured at relatively low temperatures, eliminating the high temperatures required in welding and brazing.
10. Adhesive bonding can bring a significant reduction in the weight of the finished product.
11. In most cases highly skilled labour is not required.
12. Adhesive bonding is frequently less expensive than other fastening methods.
