No leaks or bond separations, cracksor fla ws are permitted at the tube to nylon epoxy joint.Perform tensile strength test at 25 +/- 1 EC.Test Sample Preparat
10、ion:. Fabr icate aluminum tubes and mold nylon parts tospecification (see appendix I & II). Nylon samples must be dried in a convection oven to insuremoisture content of 0.3 % max per ASTM D 789. Clean aluminum tubes and nylon parts with trichloroethyleneto remove any contaminants. Preheat epoxy to
11、50 EC and inject 0.5 mL of epoxy intonylon part recess. Insert aluminum tube slowly i nto nylonrecess until tube bottoms out. Cure test samples at 137 +/- 3 EC for 55 minutes withassembled samples in an upright position. Perfo rm strength test with a jaw separation rate of 15mm/minute. A minimum of
12、6 samples are to be tested for each tensilestre ngth test (original and after coolant immersion andthermal s hock) at 25 +/- 1 EC. If tube should fracturebelow 1090 N load, the value shall be discarded and anadditional sample tested.ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONESH-M2G271-AWP 3948-b Page 3 of 6
