Induction Bonding

What is Induction Bonding?

Induction bonding is widely used to bond steel and aluminium sheet metal, and is increasingly used to bond new lightweight composite and carbon fiber materials. In the electro technical industry, Induction bonding is utilised to bond brake shoes, curved strands, and magnets and it is also used for guides, rails, shelves and panels in the white goods sector. Induction bonding utilises induction heating to heat bonding adhesives. 

In automotive sectors, induction heating is the leading technique for curing sealants and adhesives and for car components such as hoods, fenders, doors, rear-view mirrors and magnets and in the composite-to-metal and carbon fiber-to-carbon fiber joints. Induction bonding spot bonds confirm exact energy inputs for each panel and small heat affected zones lessen total panel elongation. Also, clamping is not required when bonding steel panels, which decreases stresses and distortion. With full-ring bonding, a one-size-fits-all coil reduces the need for spare coils.
