About Induction Bonding
Bonding involves connecting metal or materials containing metal to materials such as plastic, rubber or thermoplastic materials without using a bonding adhesive. Bonding with induction entails accelerating the polymerization of an adhesive by heating the metal parts to be joined. The required temperature range is generally from 150 ºC to 220 °C. Accurate heat control is critical to successfully bonding with induction heating.
Benefits
Induction heating offers several benefits over competitive processes like spot welding including:
-
Rapid heating reduces process times
-
Easy integration for in-line and cell assembly operations
-
Financial savings from reduced energy consumption
-
Improved joint quality from controlled heating
-
Improved quality from non-contact heating
Induction bonding is used in an array of industries including:
-
Aerospace: carbon fiber/composite bonding
-
Automotive: magnets in electric motors, bonding of body parts like fenders, rear view mirrors, and various joints
-
Medical: metal-to-plastic bonding with dental tools
-
Optics: Many glass-to-metal bonding applications
