Anodized aluminum is an electrolytically induced passivation process where several physical changes occur to the surface including.
Bonding aluminum to aluminum epoxy.
All grades will bond aluminum well.
For bonding aluminum to dissimilar surfaces with different coefficients of thermal expansion consider toughened 737.
Ms polymers form weather resistant bonds to aluminum and have very low shrinkage rates.
As we said earlier this one s just a quick setting version of the strongest bond creating metal epoxy.
For very high strength use a metal bonder such as 170 or the original 910.
Fast metal bonding adhesives are generally used to patch metal bonding and bond dissimilar metals such as metal corners panel sections and patch repairs for trailers made of aluminum.
It has a tensile strength of 2424 psi and heat resistance of 300 degrees fahrenheit.
So the strength isn t the same but it s more than the industry average.
Like slow and medium metal bonding adhesives fast metal bonding adhesive also guarantee corrosion protection replaces welding and has the fastest de clamp.
Thicker aluminum oxide layer increased porosity and increased strength brittleness.
Consider es550 or es558.
Aluminum resists corrosion because a thin layer of aluminum oxide forms almost immediately when the bare metal is exposed to air.
To glue aluminum you have the choice of three different types of adhesive.
Aluminum is a relatively soft durable lightweight ductile and malleable metal that is easily machined cast drawn and extruded.
Although aluminum is a common bonding substrate for epoxy anodized aluminum can present its own set of bonding problems.
So it kept the reputation.
Bonding with this adhesive is extremely resilient and durable.
Epoxy adhesive is available in one or two component versions.
The best aluminum glue.
They are popular in the construction industry.
Single component epoxies are ideal for bonding aluminum.
Single component epoxy aluminum adhesives cure with heat to form high strength structural bonds.
