    Failure of a bonded joint that has a thread

    Hey Orange_kun, The thermistor is installed only once and isn't removed. This specific joint in the plate bwlow was aubjected only to compression due to the initial preload of 10 lb-in.

    Failure of a bonded joint that has a thread

    I am adding several pictures. . https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=0922fe46-72aa-4285-ae40-ab2ae592408e&file=Screenshot_20240823-195020_WhatsApp.jpg

    Failure of a bonded joint that has a thread

    Hey again Brian Malone (Industrial) I thing there is enough place beneath the bolt for chips accumulation.

    Failure of a bonded joint that has a thread

    Thanks MintJulep (Mechanical) I know this Helicoil has other available lengths - 1D and 1.5D (I used 2D length). I guess that taking shorter Helicoil is what I will finally do, but I really want to understand what caused this failure .

    Failure of a bonded joint that has a thread

    Hey Brian Malone (Industrial) The lower piece was almost entirely tapped with the Helicoil tap and hence the insert can engage it. Indeed, as you mentioned - the Helicoil insert is for providing secure threads for mounting your thermistor. The thermistor screw does not create clamp force between...

    Failure of a bonded joint that has a thread

    Hey 3DDave (Aerospace) I agree that the threaded adhesive may fail due to shear, but I am not sure why it would spread radially. If it was a local teeth shear of the adhesive, I guess I wouldn't clearly see a separation.

    Failure of a bonded joint that has a thread

    Hey Stick, You wrote "I'd be concerned that rather than that single thread holding anything together, it may just serve to push the joint apart." In which scenario (and why) the single thread might push the parts apart?

    Failure of a bonded joint that has a thread

    Hey TugboatEng, The pre threaded hole was drilled through the 3 layers - Ultem/Adhesive/Ultem, and threading it was done at once, so I can't think why there might be misalignment between the upper/lower theead.

    Failure of a bonded joint that has a thread

    Hey Stress_Eng I will take a picture of it and upload it. The helicoil engage the pre-machined thread in the second (lower) plate, but as seen in the picture above - the engagement is minor and is about ~ 1mm. As seen in the picture, the helicoil engage a little bit (~1mm) the second (lower)...

    Failure of a bonded joint that has a thread

    Hey TugboatEng The adhesive has a quite close CTE to Ultem 1000. In addition the joint wasn't thermally loaded but was left in a room temperature.

    Failure of a bonded joint that has a thread

    Hello, I have a question about a thread which exists in a bonded joint. I am adding a simplified picture of such a joint, that we have some issues with: Please pay attention that the thread goes a little bit over the second lower bonded Ultem part. After manufacturing this joint (Including...

    A CNC holder - material selection

    Hey, what do you mean by "nick resistant"? A-2 tool steel isn't sensitive to corossion?

    A CNC holder - material selection

    EdStainless, thanks. Why did you suggest this particular coating? Is there any other alternative?

    Importance of dial indicator position while measuring

    Hello everyone, I watched the milling machine worker measuring the upper surface of the machined part while it was still on the milling machine. He didn’t really pay attention to the dial indicator posture/position relative to the part and/or machine. I wonder if there is no importance to the...

    Increasing a coefficient of friction between 2 surfaces

    Scuka You understood well and it seems to be you are right.

    Increasing a coefficient of friction between 2 surfaces

    MintJulep and LittleInch Thanks for replying, you raised good points and questions. I don't have a lot of information since I am not familiar with all the details of this project. I just heard about their solution and wanted to know if anyone has heard of such a solution before.

    Increasing a coefficient of friction between 2 surfaces

    Scuka You are right, but in this case they will have to make sure that 2 pins and hole and slot might bear the loads without failing.

    Increasing a coefficient of friction between 2 surfaces

    JStephen, did you hear about such solution before? What about ruining the surface treatment and leaving the metal exposed to environmental effects?
