Abstract:In this study, the joining technique of two different materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and aluminum that can replace steel insertion in the PVC profile industry was investigated. The aim was to improve the interface structure for joining PVC and aluminum with different geometries on the aluminum surface. The effects of mechanical surface roughness were studied for the joining performance. Aluminum samples with mechanically deformed surfaces were prepared and joined with PVC strips. Lap-shear, interla… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
