In industry, mechanical assembly using screws or rivets is a long-standing solution. However, these methods have limitations in terms of aesthetics, corrosion, and productivity. 3M adhesive tape<\/strong> is today a credible alternative for many structural bonding applications. But can it truly replace mechanical fastening? Here is a complete analysis of the benefits, limitations and best practices.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
