“The program and design team would like to say a special thank you for your work on the recent design and bonding process. We have successfully injected the heat exchangers with the thermal compound without issue all in part because of the improvements you and your team have suggested and helped to implement over the course of this program.”

Vacuum Bonding
 

Vacuum bonding is an alternative solution for joining materials offering versatility and consistency.  It provides excellent structural performance and outstanding strength retention even when exposed to high humidity environments.

Vacuum bonding uses a bladder bag with a pulled vacuum that applies consistent pressure to components as they are heated to activate an adhesive film. The versatility of this process allows for bonding of components with complex geometry.  Various thickness materials can be bonded; even as thin as .004. Components that are vacuum bonded maintain flatness as well.  It is ideal for surface mount assemblies, fin stock carriers, heat exchangers, and chassis.

AM&T's state of the art vacuum bonding lab is equipped with a Blue M electronically controlled oven to ensure accuracy.
