TECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS ON GLASS ASSEMBLED BY GLUING ON THE METAL SUPPORT

Abstract

Accelerated development of engineering sciences in recent years has led to the need for new manufacturing methods, moreover, current industrial competition requires new methods of rapid manufacturing and acceptable cost. Assembling glass by sticking on the metal support is made using a synthetic adhesive, which is relatively a new method. Bonding with adhesive synthetic materials has gained in the last decade a wide field of use when gluing sheet metal parts, non-metallic or combined, especially in light construction and fine mechanics, but also in mechanical engineering. Instead of metal layer or fitting alloy, comes a thin layer of adhesive which, after application, hardens and takes external forces through the mechanical strength due to the mass cohesion and adhesion between the adhesive and the surfaces to be joined.
