Neuentwicklungen beim Kleben von Stahl und Maschinenteilen

For batch production series a pretreatment of steel sheet surfaces is not possible. For this case specific adhesives have been developed and successfully tested for structural adhesively bonding of non-pretreated steel. This joining technology shows a number of advantages for car body construction and all other metal-frabricating industries. The successful utilization of anaerobic adhesives for bonded camshafts leads to a reduction of weight for these pieces. Furthermore the materials used for cams and shafts can be adapted to their requirements if adhesive bonding technique is used. The conventional joining of stainless steel by e.g. welding shows a number of disadvantages. If adhesives are used for joining the properties of the stainless steel adherends are not influenced inadmissibly by the joining process. The structural adhesively bonding of stainless steel is possible. The results presented in this publication make clear the innovative potential of adhesive bonding technique for the future
