ADHESION OF CERTAIN POLYAMIDE FILMS TO METALS AND ALLOYS,

Abstract

Polyamides are used as antifriction materials in a number of machines and instruments. The use of polyamides make it possible to economize on nonferrous metals and in a number of cases to increase the life span of friction couplings. Capron applied to a metal body of a bearing in the form of a thin layer covering has a number of advantages in comparison with thick walled, cast bushings. The adhesion properties of capron and polymer films to a metal lining was tested on a number of metals, including steel, brass, bronze, anodized and unanodized duraluminum. The difference in adhesive properties was shown with the introduction of several additives. The results of the tests are presented in graphs and tables. An intermediate layer of epoxy resin was used to bind the film to the metal. The results of this adhesion are also given. (Author)
