Application of an adhesive
(Dow Europe GmbH / Switzerland) | |
Bonding is the technology of the future in the modern automotive industry.There are tailor-made adhesive systems for nearly every application in the construction of vehicles.The use of structural adhesives for building automobile bodies has steadily increased since the 1990s, and offers the following advantages over classic bonding techniques, such as spot welding:
- Bonding of different materials, such as steel, aluminum, magnesium, and plastics
- For lightweight design components, such as bonded roof modules
- Improved mechanical strength
- No thermal influence on the materials
- Low-stress composite structures without load peaks
- Useful for difficult-to-reach components
Meanwhile, many automobile bodies are bonded by weld bonding with an epoxy structural adhesive. Spot welding is used additionally to fix the part until the adhesive has cured completely.
