The Influence of the Roll-Laminating Process on the Bonding Quality of Polymer-Coated Steel Interface

Abstract

Polymer-coated steel (PCS) is a new type of metal packaging material under development, which has better performance in saving resources, energy, and environmental protection. The lamination process has an important influence on the bonding quality of the PCS interface. PCS samples under different lamination temperatures and lamination speeds were prepared through experiments. A binding rate is defined to represent the real bonding area of the PCS interface. The micro-scratch tester and scanner are used to study the influence of the lamination process on the bonding rate and bonding strength of the PCS interface. It is proposed that the bonding rate and bonding strength of the PCS interface increases with the increase of lamination temperature and increases with the decrease of lamination speed. The PCS interface bonding rate and bonding strength are positively correlated. SEM and DSC experiments revealed the cause of bubbles on the PCS surface. It is proposed that controlling the uniformity of the TFS surface temperature can reduce the quality defects of PCS surface bubbles. Relevant research results bring guiding significance for the formation of enterprises.

Chemical Reaction and Bonding Mechanism at the Polymer–Metal Interface

“…Multimaterial hybrid structures, which can make full use of the respective characteristics of different materials, have attracted more and more attention. For instance, polymer–metal hybrid structures, including joining/welding/bonding joints − and metal–polymer laminates − (such as fiber metal laminates, polymer-coated metals, laminated polymer-metal strips, etc. ), have a versatile application in aerospace, machinery, electrical, automotive, biomedical, food packaging, and many other fields. − However, due to the great difference in physical and chemical properties of polymers and metals, obtaining an interface with high quality is a challenge.…”

Effect of surface roughness of electroplating chromium coated steel on bonding strength of polymer coated steel

“…At present, most studies on the polymer coated steel are focus on the optimization of process and performance. Liu et al 12 have researched the effect of lamination temperature and lamination speed on the bonding strength of polymer coated steel, the experimental results have shown that the bonding strength would increase with the increase of lamination temperature and increase with the decrease of lamination speed. Erdin et al have investigated experimentally the deep drawing process of polymer coated steel, and they have found that the introduction of polymer could improve the surface quality and alleviate the wrinkling of the stamping part.…”
