Metal adhesive is versatile and effective

Paul Boughton

Master Bond's metal adhesives can be applied to dissimilar metal substrates with different melting points. It evenly distributes stress loads over a broad bonding line rather than a concentrated area, thereby reducing stress on joints.

One of these advanced adhesive products is Master Bond's Supreme 10HT. It is a one-part, heat-resistant adhesive that is formulated to cure at elevated temperatures and provide excellent metal bonding performance and easy, fast assemblies. Serviceable over a remarkably wide temperature range of 4K to over 205 degrees C, it exhibits superior resistance to impact, thermal shock, vibration and fatigue cracking, which are all important factors affecting the metal bond strength. In addition, this metal adhesive withstands severe thermal cycling and resists many chemicals including water, oil, fuels and most organic solvents - even upon prolonged exposures. It has been tested for and meets NASA low-outgassing specifications.

Master Bond Supreme 10HT achieves strong bonds featuring high shear and peel strength between aluminium, brass, titanium, steel, Nitinol and Kovar as well as between rubbers and plastic to metal. Outstanding processing advantages facilitate the handling of the adhesive; no mixing is necessary prior to use, the high viscosity remains constant with time and unlimited working life is retained at room temperature.
