Post-Bonding Application for Vehicle Antiroll Bars’ Rubber-Metal Bushes

Abstract

In this presented study, major production parameters of the Post-Bonding method are changed systematically. Their effects on bonding strength are investigated and optimized experimentally. Using vulcanization as an example, it has been experimentally shown that the new post-bonding technology works as a production process. In study showed that the technique of subsequent bonding improves the quality and service life of parts in systems of antiroll bars. A new post-bonding application for adhesion of the rubbermetal parts was developed. The parameters of this technique were investigated and applied to rubber-metal couple adhesion of the automobile antiroll bar's bushes as a practical application Mechanical requirements of the rubber bushes were determined. adial stiffness measurements and tensile tests were performed to verify the optimized designs. The results were compared to evaluate outputs of the new post-bonding technique. As a result, the interactions of the parameters have been investigated to each other and better cases are selected. The technique was reduced to molding process in the long anti roll bar and rubber bushes to combining needs.
