We assemble steel panels with welding and screws. Can we replace these with an adhesive?

Elecolit 6607 from Panacol is a one-component epoxy resin-based adhesive filled with aluminum oxide.

The potting of electronic components involves filling the assembly with a compound such as liquid resin (e.g., epoxy, silicone, polyurethane) to protect it from environmental or use conditions like moisture, humidity, and vibration. Any air entrapment in the potting compound can result in air bubbles that may cause performance problems in the finished component.
