What is the best stainless steel adhesive?

What is the best stainless steel adhesive?

What is the best stainless steel adhesive?

(OP)
  I am doing a research project/lab on stainless steel adhesives and am looking for the best ones to compare.  I am looking for any suggestions.

Thanks

RE: What is the best stainless steel adhesive?

I have found one of the best bonds to be achieved through a moisture cure urethane.  Several others will work, but for the price I would pursue this.

I hope I've helped,
John

RE: What is the best stainless steel adhesive?

You can also try Devcon's Metal Welder - a methacrylate based adhesive

RE: What is the best stainless steel adhesive?

Methacrylates are an excellent adhesive, but very pricey.  You will get a stronger bond with a MA but in most cases it's overkill unless you are using it as a support.  I do not try to push an individual product, which is why I never call it by name on a response.  Several manufacturers make Methacrylates and Moisture cure urethanes.

Good luck,

I would try either a methyl cyanoacrylate or a structural acrylic.
