The graph below shows the lap shear strength of various Master Bond epoxy adhesives for stainless steel to stainless steel. The coupons measured 4 x 1 x 1/16 inch. As preparation, their surfaces were roughened and cleaned with acetone. Supreme 10AOHT and Supreme 10HT present outstanding lap shear strength.
When choosing the proper adhesive, there are many other factors to consider, such as specific processing and operation conditions. For more information on Master Bond high strength epoxy adhesives, please contact our technical advisors.
