INTRODUCTION
There are countless uses for bonding in all industries: from the most technical and high-performance, such as bonding primary parts in aeronautics (cabin stiffeners, wing parts, flight control surfaces - ailerons, flaps, etc.), to the most traditional, such as bonding wood for furniture manufacture, paper and cardboard for packaging or bookbinding, and bonding shoe soles.), to more traditional applications such as gluing wood for furniture manufacture, gluing paper and cardboard for packaging or bookbinding, gluing shoe soles, but also gluing and sealing in the automotive industry, which consumes 4 kg of glues and adhesives per car, or in electronics, which uses micro-droplets of technical adhesives.
We'll outline the precise methodology for choosing an adhesive to suit the job in hand, then review a number of uses to suggest applications and techniques to our readers, and see which adhesives are used in various industries.
This article is the final part of a series devoted to the bonding of materials:
- Bonding of materials. Mechanisms. Classification of adhesives;
- Bonding of materials. Characteristics and use of adhesives;
[BM 7 617] - Bonding of materials. Applications ;
- Bonding materials. Find out more.
The bonding of materials is also the subject of several specialized articles in various treatises of Techniques de l'Ingénieur, including :
