When I glue together the aluminum pnuematic piston liners into the steel outer housing of the $30,000 factory robots I work on all day I always use two-part epoxy. The thing about epoxy is that its all the same. The difference between brands is negligible and the only thing that separates the products into "grades" is the dilution of the reactant. Generally the longer they claim it takes for the epoxy to set, the higher the strength will be since the polymer strands will have more time to "grow".
Remember to sand the steel with 80 grit and clean the aluminum with acetone or paint thinner since theres always a layer of oxide on aluminum from the air.
But then what the hell would I know.
