Lec19 adhesives Flashcards
adhesives
are very strong, material around them normally fails first
applications
many applications
anaerobics adhesives
activate due to absence of air causes curing to take place
Types of adhesive
epoxy
cyanoacrylate
hybrid
sealants
Methods of glue drying
UV
anaerboic
adhesives are strong and weak under what type of loads
strong under shear load
weak under peal load
to maximise joint strength increase overlap length or joint width
increase joint width improves joint strength, increasing overlap does not have the same affect
UV adhesives adv
very fast drying time
can position part and then once happy use UV to set
BUT do need UV lighting
Epoxy
two parts - resin and hardener
cure time 5 min or 4 hours slower the cure stronger the bond
what surface prep is require
need to clean surfaces - dont want to glue the dirt and grime together
To toughen adhesives can add what
rubber will increase strength against peel loads
Cyanoacrylate
easy to dispense
quickly cures so can achieve 60% strength after 1 minute 100% after 24 hours
