Basic Bonding Technique
NOTE:
In order to ensure optimal bonding, the assembly components must fit well, the joint flanges must be clean, the prescribed application technique must be followed and working conditions must be good and at the right temperature.
Adhesive is a non-metallic material that joins two assembly components through surface bonding (adhesion) and inner cohesiveness (cohesion). An important element of this process is following the prescribed application technique whether in production or for body repair.
Upon application of the fluid adhesive, the adhesion and cohesion forces are still low. Curing is complete once the adhesive has become solid. The joint withstands loads in accordance with its design.
Good adhesive application (smooth application of adhesive on the surface) on the joint flanges ensures good bonding and adhesion.
Poor adhesive application on the joint flanges leads to poor bonding and adhesion.
