S bond technologies is pleased to present and offer this technical discussion forum dedicated to ceramic metal bonding methods applications and uses.
Bonding of ceramic to metal.
Ceramic to metal diffusion bonding.
Historically ceramic to metal bonding has been done one of two ways with the use of adhesives or with a soldering or brazing process.
Silicone glue works best when you want a strong but highly flexible hold between the objects.
Ceramic metal bonding is one of the biggest challenges that has faced manufacturers and users over the years because of the inherent differences in the thermal expansion coefficients of the two types of materials.
Diffusion bonding is a direct sealing process without any filler materials at the interface.
As opposed to the metallurgical wetting and bonding from brazing or soldering diffusion bonding is a direct inter diffusion process.
Leave no trace of water on either item.
Wash and dry both the metal and ceramic surfaces thoroughly.
Ceramic to metal bonding.
If water mixes with silicone glue it will weaken the bond.
If the metal is horizontal or vertical use flexbond fortified thin set mortar as an adhesive.
Master bond adhesives provide engineers a range of viable design options and have been successfully employed for ceramic to ceramic and ceramic to dissimilar substrate bonding applications.
S bond alloys can join a variety of ceramics and have the capability to join ceramics to metals other ceramics and glasses.
The joint strengths are generally lower than metal to metal bonds and the structures vary with the substrate materials.
Diffusion bonding is a joining method where the principal mechanism for joint formation is diffusion solid state.
Welcome to this technical forum for ceramic to metal bonding.
Multiple select formulations have been engineered for adhesion to ceramic components containing aluminum oxide zirconium dioxide boron carbide tungsten carbide silicon nitride and other advanced.
Installing ceramic tile on metal is just as easy as installing ceramic tile on concrete.
The substrate is hard and rigid so there is no need to use concrete backer board.
Adhesives various polymers create adhesive bonds between the ceramic and metal components.
Flexbond will work well in either situation.
