In contrast to traditional joining methods such as
riveting & screwing, bonding has no adverse effect on the material
characteristics of the surfaces to be bonded; e.g.: drilling of holes in the
joined parts, damaging and weakening them.
In the manufacturing environment, bonding technology permits characteristic
material properties to be utilized to the utmost. Below is a summary of
advantages of bonding technology:
Separation of surfaces
Easy integration into automated production processes
Bonding of different materials
Prevention of crevice corrosion
Bonding of heat-sensitive materials
Weight-saving
Bonding of materials over large areas
Uniform distribution of tension in bonded areas
High vibration damping
Low-heat joining processes
Enabling of recycling of primary materials
