However, the silicone adhesive is of poor manufacturability due to its extremely high viscosity, and the bonded joint usually exhibits low bonding strength and requires a long curing time. This paper investigates a way to improve both the adhesion strength and curing efficiency of Invar alloy and optical glass with RTV566 through single-lap experiments. It is found that adding small amounts of acetone and water can significantly reduce the viscosity, enhance the bonding strength, and shorten the curing time. The viscosity can be reduced by 63.4 % and the bonding strength can be improved by 136.4 % with the weight ratio of adhesive to acetone being 20:2. Moreover, a little amount of water in the weight ratio of 100:10:0.1 (adhesive: acetone: water) can shorten the curing time from 7 days to 4 days without harms to the bonding strength and elastic modulus. As to the mechanism, the silicone adhesive can be dissolved by acetone and its sulfuration reaction can be enhanced by water, resulting in good manufacturability and high curing efficiency. This work contributes a novel and easy-to-use method to greatly improve the performances of the bonding process of precision optical structures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Joining Processes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666330924000591/pdfft?md5=7609b8d2d67a410ce4dc74ffce696493&pid=1-s2.0-S2666330924000591-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142044611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the impact of microstructural changes on the fracture toughness of dissimilar welds between structural low-carbon steel (S355J2) and austenitic stainless steel (SS316L) prepared using the Rotary Friction Welding (RFW) technique. Welding preforms were created from respective pipe pup pieces.

The effects of the thickness and pore size of the foam Ni interlayer on the microstructure, mechanical properties and residual stresses of the joints were investigated. With increasing thickness and pore diameter, Ag-based solid solutions and Ti–Cu intermetallic compounds first become more dispersed and smaller at the center of the brazed joints, and then aggregate to become larger. The brazed interface microstructure with a 0.4 mm thick foam Ni interlayer with a pore size of 0.5 mm was more uniform, and the shear strength of the joint reached 21.23 MPa, representing an 85.96 % increase compared to the joint without the foam Ni interlayer.

Four types of orthogonal laminated CFRPs with different laminate stacking sequences were used as adherends to investigate the effect of adherend stiffness on the strength properties of the joints. Furthermore, the results of the finite element analysis of the dissimilar SLJs revealed that when the tensile load was applied to them, the out-of-plane deformation asymmetry increased with increasing difference in stiffness between both adherends. This asymmetry affected the peel and shear stress distributions. Furthermore, the experiments revealed that the static tensile strength of the SLJs increased with increasing stiffness of the CFRP adherend. Additionally, fracture simulation using cohesive-zone modeling (CZM) revealed that the SLJs with higher CFRP stiffness exhibited higher strength, qualitatively agreeing with the experimental results.

The pulsed current GTAW process was used to weld the superalloy sheets of thickness of 1 mm with background current (I_b) of 20 A and 40 A and peak current (I_p) of 80 A and 60 A.

Finally, the fracture surfaces after the tensile test were studied using SEM fractography analysis. The results indicated that increasing I_b and decreasing I_p led to low heat input and high cooling rate resulting in a high thermal gradient. This caused microstructure transition from the columnar dendrites to the coaxial ones in the weld zone; molten metal convection in the fusion zone led to fine grains in the weld zone during welding time. Moreover, a significant decrease in the amount of molybdenum carbides at the interdendritic regions of the weld metal was observed under these conditions.

The 30Mn weld, which had the highest SFE, exhibited the highest recrystallization fraction (94.8 %) and an increasing rate of hardness (40.9 %). This is because a higher SFE can enhance dislocation mobility, leading to an active rate of continuous DRX as well as discontinuous DRX.
