\u201cDid you know that airplanes are, for the most part, glued?\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Why Glue and not Weld?<\/h2>\n

From the construction of the first aircraft, gluing techniques have been used. Weight is saved by implementing glue joints, originally this was also the reason to replace welding with gluing. Welding requires a minimum thickness in order to be implemented, which may cause limitations. Gluing does not<\/p>\n

\"industrie_metaal\"have this limitation, as even the thinnest material can be glued.<\/p>\n

Adhesives are rare in metal assembly, but why?
\nThe main reason is that there is often an assumption that adhesive joints are weaker than other joints.In fact, a good adhesive bond often turns out to be even stronger than a comparable weld.As Paul Hartgers named in the 6th edition of Q&A specialist: \u201cIn our youth we often \u2018glued\u2019 with the white paper glue or the white markers. And because that was never done very well, these glue joints were often bad. That stuck.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Welding<\/h3>\n

Welding is a technique that is actually standard in the metal industry. Nevertheless, there are quite a few disadvantages associated with this welding, such as;<\/p>\n
