Surface Preparation Techniques for Adhesive Bonding / Edition 2

by Raymond F. Wegman, James Van Twisk

Overview

Surface Preparation Techniques for Adhesive Bonding is an essential guide for materials scientists, mechanical engineers, plastics engineers, scientists and researchers in manufacturing environments making use of adhesives technology. Wegman and van Twisk provide practical coverage of a topic that receives only cursory treatment in more general books on adhesives, making this book essential reading for adhesion specialists, plastics engineers, and a wide range of engineers and scientists working in sectors where adhesion is an important technology, e.g. automotive / aerospace, medical devices, electronics.

Wegman and van Twisk provide a wealth of practical information on the processing of substrate surfaces prior to adhesive bonding. The processing of aluminum and its alloys, titanium and its alloys, steels, copper and its alloys, and magnesium are treated in the form of detailed specifications with comparative data. Other metals not requiring extensive treatment are also covered in detail, as are metal matrix and organic matrix composites, thermosets and thermoplastics.

This new edition has been updated with coverage of the latest developments in the field including the sol-gel process for aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel, atmospheric plasma treatment for metals, plastics and rubbers and treatments for bronze and nickel alloys.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

A practical guide to preparation of substrate surfaces for adhesive bonding written by an engineer for engineers – an essential reference for those working in the plastics and adhesion sectors and downstream sectors making extensive and innovative use of adhesives, e.g. automotive / aerospace, medical devices, electronics

Editorial Reviews

Presents processes for treating materials for adhesive bonding from the point of view of the materials and process engineer. Where practical, the details of the processes are given in a process specification format including such information as the controls for rinse waters, tank construction, processing and known restrictions.
