Mid October Bulletin

Introduction

[Note:DON'T USE REPLY to send us your messages!
Use Contact Us instead.]

Adhesive Bonding is a general term including different processes that offer useful and important alternatives to welding and mechanical fastening as joining methods when required.

In particular one should acquaint oneself with advantages and limitations to verify the suitability of Adhesive Bonding for prospected applications.

Some of these aspects were addressed in our page on Adhesive Bonding which considers also its applicability to joining of metals to composite materials or ceramics.

It is therefore quite important to be exposed to most of the available information on Adhesive Bonding to evaluate alternatives, advantages, limitations and costs.

Please find here our new Mid Month Bulletin that we offer with the purpose of providing useful online information easily accessible to our readers, either now or at some later date.

No claims of completeness of knowledge are advanced. Readers willing to suggest additional information that they know and peruse successfully, can send a note by e-mail, using the Contact Us form.

The addresses reported hereafter were live and correct at the time of their publication. There is no guarantee that they will always be so, because they are administered by the sources themselves and are under their control.

Note: References to articles or other documents are given here in one of two forms. If the links are "live" (usually underlined or otherwise highlighted) they are operated with a click of the mouse.

If they are URL's (Uniform Resource Locator), which is the analogue of an address, they begin with "http://..." or "www.". These are not live and must be copied and pasted entirely into the browser (after having selected them with the mouse or otherwise). If they are long they may be displayed in two or more lines. In that case one has to care that the URL be copied completely in a single line without any space, and Enter.

If the information is important to you, you may save the selected pages in a suitable folder on your Computer for easy reference. You are welcome to forward this page to those of your friends who may profit of this information.
