The Influence of Adhesive Characteristics on the Stress–Strain State of Glue-Welded Joints

We have evaluated the influence of adhesive-material type on the stress–strain state variation of a glue-welded joint. Compositions of various chemical nature were used as the adhesive materials: epoxy, anaerobic material, organosilicon, and melt–adhesive on an ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymer base. We used specimens of AISI 430 steel specimens as substrates. By means of tomography, we discovered that the melt–adhesive joint has the best characteristics; satisfactory results are also obtained for the epoxy glue-welding.
