Choice of bonding technique
Glues and adhesives - Features and types

According to the table 1, bonding offers decisive advantages in the following cases.

• Even stress distribution, joint rigidity and homogeneity

  For equal material thicknesses, bonded joints are much more rigid than conventional screw, rivet or bolt assemblies (figure 2).

  The glue forms a joint over the entire surface, whereas discontinuous mechanical assemblies give rise to concentrations of internal stress and an irregular distribution...
