WELD MOUNT | ADHESIVE FASTENING SYSTEM

In many applications Weld Mount adhesively bonded fasteners have replaced both mechanical fasteners and assembly techniques such as soldering and welding, drilling and tapping.

The advantages of structural adhesive bonding over other joining techniques include:

• Cost savings, including lower labor costs.
• Weight reduction
• Elimination of stress point concentrations by even distribution of stress over the entire bonded surface, plus improved load bearing capacity
• Often the adhesive acts as an insulator when bonding dissimilar metals eliminating galvanic corrosion
• Improved fatigue resistance, and resistance to shock, vibration, and thermal cycling over mechanical or welded assemblies
• Enhanced structural appearance because protrusions, punctures, and attachments are eliminated. Often visual fasteners can be eliminated by adhesively bonded fasteners
