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
 
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
 
You can also try Devcon's Metal Welder - a methacrylate based 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, John Schrock
 
I would try either a methyl cyanoacrylate or a structural acrylic.

regards, John Roberts
