adhesive for bonding stainless steel

adhesive for bonding stainless steel

(OP)
Can anyone suggest me an adhesive for bonding stainless steel? Adhesive would work in high temperature conditions. Joint strength will be important, I am looking for a simple method of making structural joints without welding.
Is there, in an Internet website, a company that produces this type of adhesive?
Many thanks in advance.

RE: adhesive for bonding stainless steel

I have worked with 3M in the past on epoxy.  We used some 'B' stage (single componant) S-W 2214 that we loved.
On the whole 3M will flood you with more information than you can use.  They make about any adhesive that you need.

Ed,
No I have not had good response from 3M for putty materials or fillers with SS. The problem was with color matching. Very easily one can identify the areas where they were applied and the problem was not resolved by buffing either.

RE: adhesive for bonding stainless steel

arunmrao, why would you want a filler for stainless?  I am glad to here that this does not work.

Airman, Whatever resin system you select the key is surface preperation.  There are many ways to do it, solvents, washing, blasting, etching.  Getting a clean and roughened surface will be critical to getting good adhesion.  No resin can make up for poor surface prep.
