Bonding Plastic to Metal: Meeting Weight & Impact Resistance Targets

On-Demand Course

Recorded onOct 14,2020

Boost your chances to meet the weight reduction targets & pass crash testswith successful integration (bonding) of plastics, metals and other composites in your complex part designs.

Leading expert,Francis Facon, will help you enhanceimpact resistance and overcome adhesion issueswith guidance on how to choose the right surface pre-treatment & adhesive vs plastic (PE, PP, PA6, PA66, composite…). This roadblock lifting session will detail several real cases including methodology for developing applications needing bonding between different components.

Why should you view this course?

Stringent regulations [CAFÉ 2025]imposed by government agencies are putting a lot of pressure to scout different methods that help limit vehicular emissions. A popular tactic adopted by different OEMs is toreduce a vehicle's weight, which can significantly reduce fuel consumption and harmful emissions.

Using low surface energy materials (PE, PP, PA…) for manufacturing automotive & industrial parts can help, but, the path to achieving them is not clear. So how to get there?Join this course to:

  • Optimally join plastics(PE, PP, PA6, PA66…) & composites (metal, mineral filled, fiber reinforced…) with better comprehension of adhesive bonding on low energy materials.

  • Select appropriate adhesives in advance& define your own bonding specifications rather than depending on adhesive suppliers for solutions.

  • Opt for the right pre-surface treatment(flaming, plasma, corona, fluorination…) to bond different components.

  • Solve plastics adhesion issues & improve part performance(automotive, industrial...) by revamping your part design methodology.

  • Get expert tipsfor troubleshooting techniques including燃烧的规则, cleaning, lap shear analysis and more….
