Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method involves the qualitative determinationof the compatibility of adhesives with plastics by observing theeffect of
9、adhesives applied in the liquid state on stressed plasticspecimens. Bars of plastic are bent in a three-point loadingfixture to cause a predetermined initial tensile stress on thesurface of the bar. The liquid adhesive is then applied to thearea of maximum stress which is checked periodically forcra
10、zing or cracking.4.1.1 Due to the stress relaxation behavior of certain plas-tics, initial stress only can be determined and the stress levelmay decrease significantly during the course of the test.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed for obtaining a qualitativeestimate of the com
11、patibility of plastics and adhesives. Due tothe many process variables associated with the fabrication ofplastic parts, it is not possible to use this test as a substitute forcompatibility tests on actual parts.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D14 onAdhesives and is the

14、detection of cracks or crazes may be determinedwith or without optical aid. Make comparisons only amongtests employing crack detection methods of equivalent sensi-tivity.6. Apparatus6.1 Test FixturesBent beam test fixtures (see Fig. 1)3aredesigned to place the specimen in three-point bending. Theamo
15、unt of deflection is adjustable as well as the loading span.Other fixtures may be used as long as specimen deflection isknown.6.2 The amount of deflection on the specimen is measuredby use of a dial gage indicator or a vernier caliper having adepth indicator (see Fig. 2). Use a measuring device capa
16、ble ofreading to 0.025 mm (0.001 in.).7. Test Specimen7.1 The preferred specimen is a flexural bar designed inaccordance with Test Methods D790.Depth 6.4 mm (14 in.)Width 13 mm (12 in.)Length 130 mm (5 in.)Loading Span 100 mm (4 in.)L/d 16/1Tensile bars, such as Type I in Test Method D638, can alsob
17、e used. Specimens of rectangular section may also be cut fromsheets or molded plastic articles.7.2 Mold specimens in a low-stress condition or anneal sothat molded-in stresses will not have a significant effect.7.3 Carefully cut or machine specimens in accordance withthe plastic manufacturers recomm
18、ended procedures to avoidintroducing stresses at machined surfaces.8. Procedure8.1 Place the plastic test specimen in the test fixture at therequired loading (see Fig. 6).8.2 Apply adhesive to be tested to the center point on thelength of the loaded specimen. Cover a specimen length ofapproximately
19、25 mm (1 in.). In general, apply the adhesiveonly once, as would be the case in an actual end-use applica-tion.8.2.1 If the adhesive contains a solvent, allow it to evaporateat a normal rate.8.2.2 If the adhesive is a curing type, cure in a normalfashion.8.2.3 If the adhesive is a hot melt, apply at
20、 the normalapplication temperature and then allow to cool. This is a lesssevere condition than would occur if the adhesive werecontinually applied, but is more consistent with situations thatoccur in actual adhesive use.8.3 Control SpecimensConcurrently run one controlspecimen with the test specimen
21、s in the same location. Exces-sive molded-in stresses or airborne solvent vapors may causestress cracking even without application of adhesive.9. Stress Calculations9.1 The equation given below is valid only for specimens ofrectangular cross section at stresses below the elastic limit ofthe material
22、. The deflection is based on initial stress only. Thelevel of stress will normally decrease with time as the plasticundergoes relaxation. Deflection is calculated based on thedesired stress level as follows:D 5 SL2/6 dE (1)where:D = deflection, m (in.),S = stress, Pa (psi),L = loading span, m (in.),
23、d = specimen depth, m (in.), andE = modulus of the plastic, Pa (psi).NOTE 1This equation holds for rectangular specimens only.9.2 If it is desired to run tests on the basis of constant strain,the following formula can be used:D 5rL26 d(2)where r = strain, m/m (in./in.).9.3 Tensile stress and strain
24、values represent the maximumlevel at the surface of the specimen in the area to whichadhesive is applied. This is mid-span in the three-point loadingarrangement.10. Choice of Test Conditions10.1 Suggested stress levels for testing are 7, 14, and 21MPa (1000, 2000, and 3000 psi). For initial screenin
25、g, 21 MPa(3000 psi) is recommended since incompatible adhesives willcause rapid crazing or cracking. Lower stress levels may beused for discerning finer differences in materials.3Detailed drawings are shown in Figs. 3-5. Also necessary to complete the testfixture are the following parts: 2 pieces at
26、 6 by 38 mm (14 by 112-in.) dowel pinsand 2 pieces of M40.7 (832 unc) by 32 mm (114-in.) socket head cap screws.FIG. 1 Test Fixture with Plastic Bar in PlaceD3929 03 (2010)1210.2 Testing can also be based on constant strain if this ismore meaningful for particular end-use applications.10.3 The test
27、duration is 5 days for adhesives that harden orcure. For adhesives that remain in the liquid state on thespecimens (for example, anaerobic adhesives), the test shouldbe extended to 10 days.10.4 Maintain environmental conditioning at 23 6 2C (736 3.5F), 50 6 5 % RH. Specify other conditions as agreed
28、 toby user and manufacturer.10.5 Since stress cracking is more likely to occur immedi-ately after application of the adhesive, it is desirable to observethe specimens at frequent intervals in the beginning of the test.A suggested observation schedule is as follows: 1 min, 5 min,1 h, 24 h, and daily
29、thereafter.11.
