The present paper evaluates the effect of joining method on the strength of joint assemblies of selected structural materials: DX51+Z275 galvanised steel, OH18N9 stainless steel and DC01 low carbon steel. The objects of the study are: the lap adhesive joint and the butt welded joint with continuous and spot weld. Welded joints were produced latter by means of one of the two welding methods, MIG or MAG. The choice of the welding method depended on the type substrate material. Welding was conducted at the following constant technological parameters: strength of current, electrode deposition rate, filler metal diameter, type and flow rate of shielding gas. The adhesive joint was bonded with Epidian 53/Z1/100:10 epoxy adhesive. The substrates were pre-treated in a threestage surface preparation process involving: mechanical treatment with P60 and P320 abrasive tools and degreasing with Loctite 7063 degreasing agent. The tensile strength tests, conducted under the study, provided strength characteristics of the tested joint assemblies, indicating differences in the values of strength that depended on the applied joining method or, in the case of welded joints, the structure of the seam.
In this paper the temperature distribution in injection mold was investigated. For this purpose a special experimental mold was designed and made. This mold has eight independent cooling circuits which were connected to a temperature controller using two rotameters. In order to register temperature changes, four thermocouples placed in various points of the mold under the cavity surface and connected to a recorder. It allowed to transmit the data in real time during the injection process and to determine the temperature profile in various areas of injection molding. The infrared thermal images and temperature distribution profiles of the mold cavity and molded parts were also determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
