Bonding Copper Sheet

When it comes to copper adhesive cyberbond is the manufacturer you can depend upon.

Bonding copper sheet. Apply the adhesive to the porous substrate with a glue roller. It consists of 99 9 percent copper and is available in six tempers designated by astm b370 as. Apply the adhesive to the areas that you wish to be bonded. The copper most commonly used for sheet and strip applications complies with astm b370.

While these glues bond in under a minute they need to cure overnight for maximum strength. Solderless copper bonding also known as cold soldering gluing copper or cold welding uses a liquid durable polymer which is applied to rigid pipe fittings to literally weld them together hermetically absolutely nothing can get in impenetrable. Copper and its alloys are readily bonded with a variety of adhesive types. Types of copper and properties.

Gently scuff sand the back of the copper veneer with 80 or 120 grit sandpaper. In a well ventilated area thoroughly wash the back side of the copper with water or acetone using a steel wool or synthetic steel wool scotch brite pad. Different brands of epoxy mature at varying rates but most require 24 hours curing time. Bonding to steel is one of the toughest types of grounding connections.

1 grounding indoor and outdoor structures reinforcing bars rebar in concrete construction fence and gateposts steel enclosures etc. Our copper bonding materials can accommodate all of your copper bonding needs. A convenient alternative to welding it s the strongest solution for bonding most metals including iron steel aluminum brass copper and pewter. For copper and aluminum the bonding mechanisms are metallurgical with s bond s active nature disrupting the oxides that form on al and cu.

Do not apply the adhesive to the copper. Adhesives are preferred over soldering as they do not heat damage the copper. Once cured it is resistant to heat and moisture including water fuel oil antifreeze and shop fluids. Anaerobic adhesives cure in the presence of metal and absence of oxygen.

Two applications typically require bonding to steel. Copper is a highly conductive corrosion resistant and ductile metal which is easily bonded by epoxies acrylics or cyanoacrylates offered by cyberbond. For other metals that form tenacious oxides such as stainless steel and titanium s bond bonds adhesively with no resolvable metallurgical reactions. Press the metal pieces together firmly and use adjustable clamps to hold them in place.

Signal and power bonds to railroad rails and bonds on crane rails. Be careful because these glues can bond skin to skin and to other surfaces. Copper is one of the most reactive metals so the anaerobic adhesive will set up and cure much more quickly than the time listed for fixture speed on steel.
