Gluing Lots of Aluminium
Gluing Lots of Aluminium
(OP)
Does anybody here use epoxy or cyanoacrylate to bond aluminium in a production process? I am looking through websites and videos on surface preparation, and I would like to know how this works on a production line with semi-trained workers on lots of parts, rapidly, of course.

Good stuff to think about and read. thread2-278458: Practicality of Bonded Joint Analysis
RE: Gluing Lots of Aluminium
Applications like boats, automotive, and RV's will use very flexible (acrylic) adhesives and thick bondlines, which are very lightly loaded, and failures are not sudden and catastrophic. You need to speak with adhesive suppliers who will recommend the best one for your end use as well as your manufacturing process.
