Adhesive bonding is currently one of the most popular techniques of joining different materials. It is worth noting that this process is more and more often used in several industries: automotive, transport, mechanical engineering, medicine, electronics, light industry, as well as many others. The present article is aimed at determining an impact of selected structural, material and exploitation factors on adhesive bonds' strength. Strength tests were carried out on adhesive connections of pine wood. An exploitation factor under analysis was resistance to different temperature values - both positive and negative. Six different variants of a bonds' seasoning temperature value were used. Another variable factor was a structure of bonds, i.e. adhesive butt joints and adhesive half lap joints. Also, two types of adhesives were used: one of them was dedicated to wooden elements bonding, whereas the second one was a two-component adhesive composition based on epoxide resin. Strength tests described in the present article showed substantial impact of selected structural, material and exploitation factors on the adhesive bonds' strength.
This paper examines the effect of selected factors on the wood bonded joint strength. The structural factor under scrutiny was the geometry of the surface area; however, other major dimensions of adherends were compared as well. The tests were performed on 6 joint types: butt, v-shaped, interlocking, scarf, tongue & groove, and single lap joints, which were formed on two types of substrate materials-pine and oak wood, and adhesively bonded. The joints were bonded with Prefere 6312 wood adhesive and Loctite 3430 two-component epoxy adhesive. Strength testing of the joints was performed on Zwick/Roell Z150 material testing machine, according to DIN EN 1465 standard. The results obtained from the tests indicate that bonded joints of oak wood exhibit higher strength properties than those of pine wood adherends, which was confirmed in nearly all strength tests.
