Summary
Quality Assurance in Adhesive Technology presents a unique collaboration between the Center for Adhesive Technology of TWI, Cambridge, Cranfield University, UK, the Department of Trade and Industry, and UK industrial participants.
The project identified that the highlighting of design and production issues during very early design stages enabled potential areas of difficulty to be recognized and avoided. To achieve this, a quality assurance model was developed to analyze the issues needing to be addressed well before a component reaches the production stage.
In addition to the book, Quality Assurance associated software features flexible menu selection which will help users to customize the model to any particular manufacturing requirement and achieve higher levels of reliability in their adhesive bonding processes.
