At that time, the process was still so complicated that industrial production did not seem worthwhile. It was not until twenty years later that this material began its triumphal march around the world and developed into an industrially frequently used and highly valued metal.

However, there are a few things to consider, especially concerning the invisible oxidation layer that covers the aluminum. In addition to welding and riveting, there is also the possibility of bonding aluminum.<\/p>\n<p>Aluminum is an excellent heat conductor. Its melting temperature is 660\u00b0 Celsius, which is lower than that of copper, iron, and other metals. If you want aluminum bonding to be heat-resistant, you should pay attention not only to the melting temperature of the aluminum but also to the heat resistance of the adhesive used.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But which adhesive do you need for aluminum gluing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Best Aluminum Glue<\/h2>\n<p>In order to bond aluminum, you ideally need a construction adhesive. To glue aluminum, you have the choice of three different types of adhesive:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>Aluminum Epoxy: <a href=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/en\/guide\/best-epoxy-glue\" data-wpil=\"url\">Epoxy adhesive<\/a> <\/strong>is available in one or two-component versions. Bonding with this adhesive is extremely resilient and durable. However, an optimal preparation of the surfaces is necessary, which can be quite complex under certain circumstances. It should be noted that two-component epoxy resin adhesive cures under room temperature, whereas one-component epoxy adhesive requires heat and pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">.asa2_horizontal_box {background-color:#ffffff !important;border:1px solid #c9c9c9;

You can find out what these are in our aluminum bonding instructions below.<\/p>\n<p>You usually need a two-component adhesive based on acrylate, polyurethane, or epoxy resin. Protect your workplace generously with several layers of newspaper and also wear your protective clothing. You can find out more about personal occupational safety in one of the following chapters.<\/p>\n<p>Important: Before using the adhesive, study the manufacturer&#8217;s datasheet supplied with the product to obtain detailed information on application, pot life, flash-off time, and curing time. Make sure you have all the necessary things ready:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>The parts to be connected<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>The adhesive<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>Sandpaper with 120 grain or a sandblaster for large areas<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>A somewhat harder brush or, for large surfaces, a hand brush<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>Grease and silicone cleaner<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>A lint-free cloth<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When everything is ready, you can start with surface treatment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Surface Preparation of Aluminum<\/h3>\n<p>It sounds strange, but first the surface has to be cleaned before it is treated with sandblaster or sandpaper &#8211; usually, the reverse order is used. However, there is a reason for this sequence of operations: If you start sandblasting or grinding without prior cleaning, there is a risk that dirt and grease particles will be introduced deep into the fabric by the mechanical processing. There, they then ensure weaker adhesion of the adhesive.<\/p>\n<p>The following procedure is, therefore recommended:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>Clean grease and dirt particles thoroughly<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>Sandblasting or grinding<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>Remove grease and dirt again<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>From now on, no more touching with bare hands!<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>Apply adhesive<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>Joining<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After the surface has been cleaned and roughened, you must act quickly: Aluminium is a highly reactive material on whose surface an oxide layer quickly forms on contact with air. This can massively impair the adhesive properties of the adhesive, and even after curing, the adhesive seam can break. If the oxide layer has been removed by grinding or sandblasting, you have a maximum of ten minutes to apply the adhesive and join the two surfaces together.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Gluing Process<\/h3>\n<p>Now apply the two-component adhesive. Usually, this is done on both sides using the contact adhesive method; however, it is essential that you study the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions. After a specific flash-off time, press the two surfaces firmly together and fix them in place if possible. The flash-off time is an essential component in the bonding of aluminum. It is vital that you observe it accurately; otherwise, there is a risk of inadequate bonding, as possibly the solvent in the adhesive cannot evaporate.<\/p>\n<p>How long the joint takes to achieve its ultimate strength depends on many factors such as the adhesive used, the materials being bonded, and the ambient temperature. It is best to follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions. In general, it is better to let the adhesive cure too long than too short.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Bonding Aluminum to Wood, Concrete and Other Materials<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to bonding aluminum to aluminum, it is also possible to join a wide range of different materials. You can glue aluminum to wood, but also join stone, concrete, and plastics with aluminum. For this purpose, mainly sticky construction adhesives based on epoxy resin, PU, or silicone are used. A distinction is made between bonding:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>Large areas, where mostly epoxy resin adhesive is used<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>Small areas, for which PU or PUR adhesive is more suitable<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When bonding different materials, ensure proper surface preparation so that the adhesive can optimally develop its adhesive properties.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>Wood must be carefully roughened so that the glue adheres well.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>Concrete and stone, if they have holes, must be filled and filled.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> <strong>Aluminum must be absolutely free of grease and dirt; this also applies to skin grease and the oxidation layer that is always present!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you want to glue aluminum to wood, you must be aware that wood, unlike aluminum, is an organic substance that can change rapidly, for example, due to UV radiation or moisture. This is another reason why choosing the right adhesive is crucial.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Safety Instructions for Bonding Aluminum<\/h2>\n<p>In order to bond aluminum instead of welding, some safety aspects have to be considered. Wear gloves so that the adhesive does not come into contact with your skin. We also recommend wearing safety glasses to avoid contact between the adhesive and your eyes. If the adhesive comes into contact with your eyes or mucous membranes, wash them thoroughly with clear, warm water for several minutes and seek medical attention immediately. Make sure you take the datasheet of the adhesive with you so that the doctor can get an idea of the substances contained in the adhesive.<\/p>\n<p>Ensure a well-ventilated workplace or wear a respiratory mask, as potentially harmful vapors may escape during bonding.<\/p>\n<p>Also, think about the protection of your workplace. Lay out thick layers of newspaper or use special films to protect surfaces from the adhesive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5210 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/aluminium-bonding.jpg\" alt=\"aluminium bonding\" width=\"848\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/aluminium-bonding.jpg 848w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/aluminium-bonding-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/aluminium-bonding-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/aluminium-bonding-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/aluminium-bonding-360x252.jpg 360w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/aluminium-bonding-262x184.jpg 262w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/aluminium-bonding-162x113.jpg 162w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/aluminium-bonding-100x70.jpg 100w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/aluminium-bonding-610x427.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Options for Joining Aluminum<\/h2>\n<p>To bond this material together, you can, of course, glue it with aluminum glue, but there are other possibilities. However, these are often more complex &#8211; in general, it is many times easier to bond aluminum than to weld it.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, in our Aluminum Guide, we would like to discuss the most common joining techniques for aluminum:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> When riveting or also screwing, both joining partners are joined together with the help of rivet or screw connections. First of all, a hole is drilled, and then both parts are joined together with rivets or screws. This must not cause any weak points in the material; this is particularly important in areas susceptible to corrosion. Therefore, preventive measures against corrosion must always be taken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This type of joint has the advantage that the aluminum retains its original strength, as the material is not heated, as is the case with welding. This technique is often used in aircraft construction. For the do-it-yourselfer, riveting with a hand-riveting tool is of interest. More frequent and simpler, however, is the gluing of aluminum.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> Welding can be done with three different methods:\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> Metal inert gas welding, also known as MIG welding, uses an electric arc to join the two surfaces together under a shielding gas.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> Tungsten inert gas welding, also known as TIG welding, uses an arc fed by alternating current.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> The most modern variant is cold metal transfer welding, also called CMT welding. Here, the formation of spatter is avoided by joining the surfaces with only one single, perfectly timed melt drop at a time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5214 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/joining-aluminium.jpg\" alt=\"joining aluminium\" width=\"848\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/joining-aluminium.jpg 848w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/joining-aluminium-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/joining-aluminium-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/joining-aluminium-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/joining-aluminium-360x224.jpg 360w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/joining-aluminium-262x163.jpg 262w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/joining-aluminium-162x101.jpg 162w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/joining-aluminium-100x62.jpg 100w, https:\/\/resin-expert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/joining-aluminium-610x380.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also, by soldering, two joining partners made of aluminum can be permanently joined together.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that heating always leads to high stress and thus to a reduction of the material strength. The surfaces joined in this way can also suffer optically; more or less bulging weld seams are produced.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-circle-right\" style=\"color:#007aff\"><\/i> We already go into detail about bonding in our guide; therefore, we no longer describe the bonding process per se, but limit ourselves to mentioning that aluminum as a metal is of course very easy to bond. If the bonding work has been carried out properly, the bonded seam often proves to be more robust than a welded seam.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With this type of connection, the type of load must be taken into account. Bonded joints should never be loaded by pulling or peeling movements, as these can damage the bonded joint. Ideally, the joint is only loaded on thrust.<\/p>\n<p>However, gluing aluminum has other advantages over welding. For example, it can also be used when riveting, or welding of aluminum is out of the question, for example, when joining aluminum and magnesium or for super-light plastics. Furthermore, an adhesive joint leads to a reduction in weight: Studies have shown that up to ten percent weight can be saved compared to conventional joining processes, which is a great advantage, especially in aircraft and automotive engineering.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Tips and Tricks<\/h2>\n<p>Typically, when bonding aluminum to stone, any unevenness must first be leveled out using fillers and filler. If, however, you use a paste-like construction adhesive for aluminum and stone or concrete, you can apply it in dense beads and level out any unevenness. In this way, you save yourself the trouble of filling up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bonding aluminum is not more difficult than bonding other materials. What matters most is proper surface preparation and the choice of the right adhesive. Whether or not aluminum bonding is heat resistant, you must refer to the datasheet of the adhesive. As far as the working process is concerned, just follow our instructions for aluminum bonding. We hope we could help you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aluminum adhesive joints should be not only stable, but also as durable, inconspicuous, and at best heat-resistant as possible.
