Method of adhering metal alloy to metal sheet with resin composition.

摘要

A fixing composition comprises a thermosetting resin, exemplified as an epoxy resin, e.g. a bisphenol A type, optionally with a heat-activated hardener, and one of three additives to maintain the viscosity during melting prior to the resin hardening, namely (a) a powdered metal, e.g. Fe, Ni, (b) a thermoplastic resin, e.g. high molecular wt epoxy resin, or (c) an adhesive material, e.g. an acrylic copolymer of an alkyl(meth)acrylic acid ester; and other additives optionally. The components are selected so that the residual carbon after heating to metal sintering temperature is at least 0.5 wt %. preferably 1.0 to 10%.
<??>A sheet of 0.5 to 5 mm thick of a powdered metal alloy, e.g. a multi-component eutectic alloy and a synthetic resin binder composition, e.g. an acrylic copolymer and an adhesive component, is placed on a metal substrate, e.g. of steel; a molded film or coated layer of 5 to 50 mu m thickness of the fixing composition is placed therebetween. The assembly is heated in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to harden the resin and form an adhesive and then to sintering temperature, e.g. 1,000 to 1,150 DEG C at which the adhesive vaporizes and the alloy sinters to the substrate.
<??>The alloy sheet is adhered firmly to the substrate during sintering.
