1
Non-Arc Welding Processes Resistive heating, chemical reactions, focused light and electrons, sound waves, and friction can also be used to join materials –Resistance welding –Oxy-Fuel Welding –Friction welding (&Solid State) –Laser and electron beam welding –Brazing and soldering –Plastics joining –Adhesive bonding Introduction
2
Adhesives Thermosets form long polymer chains by chemical reaction (curing) –Heat is the most common means of curing –Ultraviolet light, oxygen - acrylics –Moisture - cyanoacrylates Thermoplastics (hotmelts) –Adhesive is heated until it softens, then hardens on cooling -Polyethylene, PVC 0.1.1.2.6.T26.95.12
3
Curing of Adhesives Thermosets form long polymer chains by chemical reaction (curing) –Heat (epoxy) –Ultraviolet light, oxygen (acrylics) –Moisture (superglue) Adhesive Bonding
4
Stress Modes - Best to Worst 4. Peel 5. Cleavage 2. Shear1. Compression3. Tension 0.1.1.2.6.T29.95.12
5
Why Adhesive Bonding? Dissimilar materials –Plastic to metal Materials that can be damaged by mechanical attachments Shock absorption or mechanical dampening Laminate structures –Skin to honeycomb structure Adhesive Bonding
6
Adhesive Selection Adhesive selection is based primarily on –Type of substrate –Strength requirements, type of loading, impact requirements –Temperature resistance, if required Epoxy Cyanoacrylates Anaerobics - metals Urethanes Silicones Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) Adhesive Bonding
7
Advantages Joining dissimilar materials - plastic to metal Materials that can be damaged by mechanical attachments Blind joints Shock absorption or mechanical dampening Temporary alignment Laminated structures Thin substrates - skin-to-honeycomb construction Stress distribution 0.1.1.2.6.T27.95.12
8
Limitations Adhesives dont do work, they distribute work; they are not structural materials Environmental degradation –Temperature –Oxidation Difficult to repair Curing or setting time Surface preparation Adhesive Bonding
