This authoritative reference helps designers and engineers select and use anaerobic machinery adhesives for sealing flanged joints, designing threaded connections for security and sealing, and designing adhesive assists for more durable shrink, press, and slip fitted assemblies. For each adhesive, it describes surfaces, application method, cure system, test methods, and benefits. Machinery Adhesives for Locking, Retaining, and Sealing gathers information on the chemical and technical properties of anaerobics into a single volume for the first time ... lists all government and laboratory specifications ... combines discussions of adhesives and application equipment ... covers locking, sealing, and retaining assemblies ... contains selector charts and a lengthy treatment of design ... contrasts old and new systems side by side ... describes designs for lighter weight ... provides new, previously unpublished data in many areas of design ... compares all sealing methods used today ... and offers imaginative solutions to many design problems. Machinery Adhesives for Locking, Retaining, and Sealing is an essential guide for mechanical, design, process, manufacturing, materials, and automotive engineers; mining, chemical plant, and power plant operators; appliance and electronic equipment manufacturers; and all users of machinery adhesives. It is also an important tool for in-house training courses and professional seminars on adhesives, and undergraduate courses in materials engineering, mechanical engineering, structural adhesives, and hydraulics.
