Adhesives
Adhesives
(OP)
I am trying to find information on steel-steel adhesives. Right now, I'm fairly out of my depth so any insight I can get would help.
We currently use a one part heat curing epoxy to hold bearing halves together so that we can machine them to match. While this mostly works, we also get distortion in the parts when they are de-bonded. As I know basically nothing about adhesives, where would I look for more information? Would anyone have advice on where to learn more about different types of adhesives to even have an overview of what I'm dealing with?
I'm sure this is a huge topic and people make their lives on just this alone, but I'm somewhat out of my league with this and looking for a place to start.

But it seems that they've been bought and sold multiple times, and I can't follow the trail to who might own them now.

I've used PL Premium for gluing wood to steel for reinforcing floor joists using steel BAR.

The Internet sites for Loctite, 3M, Devcon and MasterBond are good for introductory information.

It is my theory that inconsistencies in our bonding process cause variations of part behavior during the machining. Sometimes we get good parts with no distortion at all, sometimes we get whole lots of bad parts. Not to mention the emotions involved in this project and all the tribal knowledge that has no data to support it.
