Effects and mechanism of thermal insulation materials on thermal runaway propagation in large-format pouch lithium-ion batteries

The large heat transfer area of large-format lithium-ion batteries primarily facilitates conduction heat, which is responsible for triggering the thermal runaway of adjacent cells. Therefore, the primary consideration is to utilize thermal insulation materials between cells in order to slow down or prevent the process of thermal runaway propagation. In this study, three varieties of thermal insulation materials were employed to insulate individual cells within a module comprising three large-format pouch cells. These materials include pre-oxygenated wire aerogel (AG-ST-POF), polymer-coated pre-oxygenated wire aerogel (PC-AG-ST-POF), and silicone (SI). The study experimentally examined the thermal runaway propagation (TRP) behavior of the battery module under conditions without insulation materials and with various types of insulation materials. The impact of thermal insulation materials on the TRP among cells was analyzed. The study revealed that none of the three materials completely suppressed the propagation of thermal runaway, although they did impede its progress. The overall impact of AG-ST-POF surpassed that of SI and PC-AG-ST-POF. Furthermore, the mechanism by which thermal insulation materials influence TRP was explored. The results of the thermophysical properties testing suggest that evaluating the impact of materials on TRP solely through thermal conductivity is not a reliable approach. Alternatively, the maximum service temperature and thermal diffusion coefficient are critical parameters for the selection of thermal insulation materials. This study can provide a valuable reference for process engineering design and application in the context of lithium-ion batteries, with the aim of mitigating the risk of TRP.

Influence of thermomechanical treatment on mechanical properties of CLAM steel

To enhance the creep resistance of CLAM steel and thus elevate its maximum service temperature, in our prior research, a superior thermomechanical treatment process was developed based on thermal simulation experiments conducted. This study employed forging to achieve the desired thermal deformation in accordance with the superior thermomechanical treatment process, followed by mechanical property testing post tempering. Comparative analysis with normalized and tempered CLAM steel (N + T CLAM steel) revealed notable improvements in yield strengths ranging from 31–55 %, ultimate tensile strengths from 30–46 %, and a reduction in total elongations by 12–21 % at both room temperature and elevated temperatures. Additionally, the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) increased from -65 °C to -27 °C. Creep behavior of N + T CLAM steel exhibited similarities to other RAFM steels, with stress exponents measured at 500 °C, 550 °C, 600 °C, and 650 °C recorded as 16.5, 15.0, 10.2, and 7.8, respectively. The creep activation energy was determined to be 556 kJ/mol, closely aligning with results from Eurofer 97 steel and F82H steel, and approximately twice the self-diffusion activation energy of iron. The Larson-Miller parameter method was employed to forecast stress-rupture limits under various conditions, with a predicted result of 120 MPa under typical design life conditions (550 °C / 100,000 h) for the cladding module, comparable to Eurofer 97 steel and F82H steel. TMT CLAM steel exhibited a stress exponent of 16.7 at 550 °C, with a creep activation energy of 578 kJ/mol. Under typical design life conditions (550 °C / 100,000 h) for the cladding module, the predicted stress-rupture limit increased to 176 MPa, representing a 47 % improvement over N+T CLAM steel. Moreover, under the same conditions (550 °C / 230 MPa), the rupture time of TMT CLAM steel was 54 times longer than that of N+T CLAM steel.

Segregation-induced strength anomalies in complex single-crystalline superalloys

Pushing the maximum service temperature of aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines is the major pathway to improve their energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. This maximum is mostly limited by the temperature capability of key-component materials, including superalloys. In this alloy class, segregation of elements facilitates plastic deformation and is generally considered to cause softening during high-temperature deformation. Here, we show that segregation-assisted processes can also lead to strengthening and induce an anomalous increase of the yield strength. Atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy and density functional theory calculations reveal a segregation-assisted dissociation process of dislocations at precipitate-matrix interfaces in combination with atomic-scale reordering processes. These processes lead to an inhibition of athermal deformation mechanisms and a transition to stacking fault shearing, which causes the strengthening effect. Unraveling these elementary mechanisms might guide a mechanism-based alloy design of future superalloys with enhanced high-temperature capabilities.

Magnet selection for permanent magnet synchronous machines by decision science

This work investigates magnet selection for permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) by decision science. 20 multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) methods ranked a list of 45 industrial-grade permanent magnets based on eight property requirements―high energy density (BHMAX), high coercivity (HC), high magnetic remanence (BR), high electrical resistivity (ρ), high Curie temperature (TC), high maximum service temperature (TS), low linear thermal expansion coefficient (α), and low density (d)―targeted to selecting magnets for PMSMs. The Shannon's entropy method evaluated the objective attribute weights of ρ, BHMAX, and HC, as ∼46%, ∼24%, and ∼23%, respectively, and the rest—BR, TC, TS, d, and α―combined as ∼7%; equal weights (∼12.5% each) to all the attributes were the subjective weights. Principal component analysis (PCA) consolidated ranks from various MADM methods, and hierarchical clustering (HC) grouped magnets based on their similarities. For PMSMs in applications where ρ, BHMAX, and HC, are more critical compared to the rest of the properties, the eight top-ranked magnets are N35 (Neodymium® 35), N35H (Neodymium® 35H), N30 (Neodymium® 30), N30H (Neodymium® 30H), N27H (Neodymium® 27H), N27 (Neodymium® 27), F5–S (Ferrite 5, Sintered Iron Strontium Oxide), and F3–S (Ferrite 3, Sintered Iron Barium Oxide) in that order. On the other hand, for PMSMs in applications where all the attributes are equally important, the eight top-ranked magnets are N35 (Neodymium® 35), N35H (Neodymium® 35H), N30H (Neodymium® 30H), N30 (Neodymium® 30), N27H (Neodymium® 27H), N27 (Neodymium® 27), CS4 (Samarium Cobalt 4), and F5–S (Ferrite 5, Sintered Iron Strontium Oxide) in that order. The consolidated ranks of the magnets obtained by assigning objective and subjective attribute weights showed a strong correlation of ∼0.94. This investigation targeted magnet selection for PMSMs from a comprehensive dataset of industrial-grade permanent magnets, utilizing several property requirements, applying both objective and subjective attribute weights identified Neodymium® 35 as the top-ranked magnet.

Microstructures and mechanical properties of (TiBw+Ti5Si3)/TC11 composites fabricated by hot isostatic pressing and subjected to 2D forging

In this study, microstructures and mechanical properties of (TiBw+Ti5Si3)/TC11 composites fabricated by hot isostatic pressing and 2D forging were investigated. A α + β titanium alloy TC11 (Ti-6.4Al-3.5Mo-1.4Zr-0.25Si) was used as a matrix material. The TiB2 addition corresponding to 5.0 and 3.5 vol% of TiBw and the Si addition corresponding to 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 vol% of Ti5Si3 were used as additives to the TC11 titanium alloy. TiBw and Ti5Si3 reinforced TC11 titanium matrix composites were fabricated by hot isostatic pressing and 2D forging in the α + β temperature field at T = 980 °C. The microstructure of the as-forged composites was composed of nanoscale Ti5Si3 particle within the β-phase and TiBw around TC11 matrix particle. The TiBw reinforcer tend to be distributed along the stretching deformation direction. Compared with the TC11 matrix alloy, the strength of the (2Ti5Si3 +5TiBw)/TC11 composite after 2D forging at room temperature increased by about 90 MPa due to the fine-grain strengthening of the α-phase, the precipitation strengthening of the nanoscale Ti5Si3 silicide, and the load transfer efficiency of TiBw. The main failure mechanism of the composites at room temperature is fracture of TiBw followed by ductile failure of the matrix. (2Ti5Si3 +5TiBw)/TC11 is thought as the optimal choice for engineering application, which UTS and El. at 600 °C are 851 MPa and 11%, respectively, and corresponding values of parameters at 750 °C are 385 MPa and 21%, respectively. Compared to the maximum service temperature 500 °C of TC11 alloy, the service temperature of (2Ti5Si3 +5TiBw)/TC11 composite can be improved by over 100 °C while retaining the similar tensile strength and elongation.

Processing of Ceramics from Polysil(sesquioxane)‐Type Precursors: Coatings, Tapes, Tailored Surfaces, and Porosity Control

Poly(silsesquioxane)‐based polymer‐derived ceramics (PDCs), may be manufactured by a great variety of processes and process combinations leading to ceramic parts seven with high functionality. Advantage of the use of poly(silsesquioxane)s as starting materials with a defined amount of oxygen is that low‐temperature‐processing steps such as shaping and cross‐linking may be carried out in air, and a disadvantage often discussed is a maximum service temperature below 1200 °C. In this article, the focus is set to PDC tapes, coatings, tailored surfaces, and tailored porosity. And, a rough distinction is made between materials pyrolyzed below 1200 °C and far above 1200 °C. The later provides porosity formed by high‐temperature reactions between particulate fillers and the ceramic residue from pyrolysis.

Physical characteristics of nickel thin-films and nickel thin-film foams as Li-air batteries anode and cathode current collectors

Lithium-air batteries (LABs) are in the research and development stage between 2020 and 2030 as the future of lithium-ion batteries, and knowledge about their components provides the necessary data for commercializing. Current research investigates the physical characteristics of nickel (Ni) thin-films and Ni thin-film foams as anode and cathode current collectors, respectively, for LABs using the molecular dynamics simulation method. The obtained results provide helpful theoretical guidance for researchers to understand the physical attributes of current collectors and the interfacial interaction of air and electrolyte with cathode current collectors. Results indicate that the maximum service temperature of Ni thin-films and their foams with a 2.82–5.63 nm thickness equals 1200 and 1088 K, respectively, because the physical characteristics change significantly after these temperatures. Evaluation of the mechanical properties of Ni thin-films and their foams show that the mechanical attributes of these materials are in the acceptable region of current collectors. Therefore, Ni thin-films and their foams provide the required thermal and mechanical characteristics as anode and cathode current collectors, respectively. However, interfacial interaction between Ni thin-film foams with air and (CH3)2SO/LiPF6 non-aqueous electrolyte reveals that the presence of oxygen selective membrane is necessary for LABs cells. This membrane must not only block the flow of N2 and H2O toward the battery but also must impede the leakage of electrolytes. In addition, results depict that Ni thin-film foams have suitable applications as cathode current collectors for Li-N2 batteries due to more permeation depth of N2 molecules in comparison with other air molecules.

Influence of microstructure and phase morphology on the stability of high temperature irradiation resistant thermocouples

Development of in-core instrumentation is driven by the pursuit of safer and more economic energy production from both existing nuclear reactors and Generation IV reactor designs. Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has developed high temperature irradiation resistant thermocouples (HTIR-TCs) for temperature sensing inside Generation IV nuclear reactors. These thermocouples are composed of phosphorus-doped niobium (Nb-P) and lanthana-doped molybdenum (Mo-LaO) thermoelements, an alumina (Al2O3) insulation, and a niobium sheath. HTIR-TCs require an initial heat treatment exceeding the maximum service temperature to stabilize the generated electromotive force (EMF) signal; however, the mechanism behind this stabilization is not well understood. This work evaluates the impact of the stabilization heat treatment on the thermoelements' microstructures, chemical stability, and electrical properties to determine the mechanisms by which the EMF signal stabilization occurs. Accordingly, during the preliminary heat treatment, a secondary Nb3P phase formed within the Nb-P, along with an interaction region at the Al2O3/niobium interface. The formation of secondary phases within the niobium leg of the thermocouple causes an increase in the Seebeck coefficient. Stabilization of the HTIR-TC EMF signal was found to be dependent upon both the equilibrium of a diffusion interaction region at the Nb-P/Al2O3 interface and the formation of Nb3P precipitates.

Pultruded carbon fibre reinforced polymer strips produced with a novel bio-based thermoset polyester for structural strengthening

This paper presents the development and industrial manufacturing of a pultruded high-performance carbon fibre (CF) reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite strip using a bio-based unsaturated polyester (UP) resin containing more than 50% of its weight derived from renewable raw materials. The bio-based CF/UP strengthening strip, comprising unidirectional CF strands, was successfully produced and its mechanical and thermomechanical behaviours were assessed, and compared to an equivalent carbon fibre reinforced epoxy-vinyl ester (CF/VE) strip produced with conventional petroleum-based high-performance epoxy-vinyl ester resin and the same fibre architecture. The bio-based CF/UP composite strip presented 2095 MPa, 167 GPa, and 1.4% of tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and strain at failure, respectively. These figures met or exceeded the mechanical properties of its equivalent conventional CF/VE counterpart tested under the same conditions. Furthermore, the bio-based CF/UP composite strip presented a glass transition temperature of 78 °C (defined from the onset of the storage modulus decay), enabling a maximum service temperature of ∼60 °C, which will not likely be exceeded in most climates, highlighting its potential for structural strengthening applications, and offering a key advantage in terms of sustainability.

Mechanical properties of FRP materials at elevated temperature – Definition of a temperature conversion factor for design in service conditions

One of the main concerns about the use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials in civil engineering structures is the potential reduction of their stiffness- and strength-related properties when exposed to elevated temperature. This concern, mostly due to the glass transition process underwent by polymeric matrices, needs to be duly reflected in design standards. In the scope of the development of the European Technical Specification CEN/TS 19101: 2022, “Design of Fibre-Polymer Composite Structures”, this paper presents the definition of a temperature conversion factor for in-service conditions to take into account the reduction of FRP mechanical properties with temperature. The first part of the paper briefly describes the basis of design of CEN/TS 19101: 2022 and the framework to consider the effects of environmental conditions on material properties. The second part presents an assessment of recommendations about the reduction of mechanical properties with temperature in existing design guidelines for FRP structures. The third part describes a survey of test data available in the literature concerning mechanical tests at elevated temperature of FRP materials produced with different fibres, resins, shapes and manufacturing methods. The survey shows that the provisions available in existing design guidelines are not always precise and, in some cases, they are non-conservative. Based on this assessment, the fourth and final part of the paper presents the method used to define the values of the temperature conversion factor included in CEN/TS 19101: 2022, which is consistent with the partial factor method of the Eurocodes. The method takes into account (i) the maximum service temperature experienced by the FRP material, (ii) its glass transition temperature, and (iii) the type of mechanical property, namely if it is either fibre- or matrix-dominated. The proposed temperature conversion factor values proved to be adequate considering the test data available in the literature.

Effects of solid deposits on the corrosion behaviour of titanium in high acidity and highly oxidising leaching solutions

ABSTRACT Solid minerals are ubiquitous and common deposits on Ti-lined process vessels in the hydrometallurgical industry. This work revealed the effects of inert solid deposits on the corrosion behaviour of Ti-2 in high acidity and highly oxidising leaching solutions. It was found that the deposit-covered Ti-2 had a higher corrosion rate (CR) than bare Ti-2. CR increased with increasing deposit thickness (up to 6 cm) and temperature. Solid deposits mainly affected the corrosion process of Ti by limiting the mass transfer of the oxidising Fe(III) from the bulk solution to the underlying Ti, thus affecting the stability of the protective passive film, and resulting in an accelerated passive CR. High temperatures and solid deposition are both commonly encountered in the hydrometallurgical industry, and their combination may significantly limit the maximum service temperature of Ti-equipment, implying that there is a risk in using Ti-components under such conditions.

Mechanical and thermal stability of Bulk Metallic Glass alloys identified as candidates for space mechanism applications

Extraterrestrial environments expose engineering components to severe operating conditions for extended durations. Challenges of extreme temperature changes and high vacuum are being met by careful selection of available materials or by development of novel high-performance materials and processes. Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMGs) are amorphous alloys that exhibit very high strengths, hardness, strain energy storage, corrosion resistance, and the capacity for thermoplastic formability, and are of interest in space engineering design. Using criteria driven by the requirements of specific space-based mechanisms, BMG alloys were selected from the literature for processing and performance evaluation. Alloys particularly suited for gearing applications and flexure-based compliant mechanisms were identified and standard test specimens produced. Four Zr-based BMG alloys were selected for analysis: Zr53Al16Co23.25Ag7.75, Cu47Zr46Al5Y2, Zr49Ti1.96Cu37.24Al9.8Y2, and Zr60Ti2Nb2Al7.5Ni10Cu18.5, with compositions in at.%. Presented in this work are the results of compression testing, fatigue testing, and differential scanning calorimetry; previous results of wear and hardness testing have been presented elsewhere. A maximum space service temperature of 400 °C is considered. The alloys exhibited significant differences in processability and thermomechanical performance. The alloy Zr49Ti1.96Cu37.24Al9.8Y2 exhibited the best overall performance for gearing applications; and Zr60Ti2Nb2Al7.5Ni10Cu18.5 was the best alloy for compliant flexures.

Materialographic Preparation of Salt

Abstract Molten salt containing systems gain in importance for sustainable energy use and production. For research and development, interactions of molten salts with potential container materials are of major interest. This article introduces preparation procedures to display an intact metal and salt microstructure and their interface using light optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The exemplary material combination is the ternary salt mixture NaCl-KCl-MgCl2 and the low alloyed steel 1.4901 (T92) with a maximum service temperature of 550 °C. These are potential elements/materials for use in latent heat thermal energy storages.

Optimization of thermal barrier coating performance and durability over a drive cycle

A methodology to thermo-mechanically optimize a piston thermal barrier coating over a full drive cycle was established. The optimization objective was to minimize the heat transfer to the engine wall while maintaining structural integrity of the coating. Over 800 candidate materials were investigated and the optimization required more than one million non-road transient drive cycle calculations; real materials were investigated to ensure a realizable result and the existence of thermal and mechanical properties. High computational efficiency was achieved using a recently developed analytical heat transfer technique for multilayer engine walls. An uncoupled approach was utilized for the optimization, wherein the gas temperature and heat transfer coefficient profiles from a fully coupled and calibrated baseline model over the 20-min drive cycle were employed. The coating/piston interface temperature was constrained to be below the maximum piston service temperature limit. The durability was assessed using a recently developed analytical coating delamination framework for engine in-cylinder coatings based on the energy release rate when a crack forms. Results are presented for a mechanically unconstrained optimization and for cases constrained to three fixed levels of drive-cycle maximum energy release rate, and also constrained by the individual material’s toughness. The best-performing coating materials identified were verified using the fully coupled system-level model, which compared well to the uncoupled predictions. A study on the effect of adding a sealing layer to some high-performing, but porous, coatings showed a reduction in fuel consumption benefit and an increased exhaust temperature over the cycle, but the system still outperformed the uncoated case. The results of the study elucidate the importance of including engine performance and mechanical failure considerations in thermal barrier coating design.

An investigation on the processing conditions of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo by electron beam powder bed fusion: Microstructure, defect distribution, mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy

In comparison with Ti-6Al-4V, which is the most common titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo (Ti6242) is a crucial structural material with a maximum service temperature of 540 °C. One of the key applications of this alloy is in the hot sections of power generation systems, such as impeller. Because of its higher thermal resistance, the processability of this alloy through conventional manufacturing processes is challenging. For this reason, new manufacturing processes such as Additive Manufacturing (AM) could attract attention in producing components made of this alloy. Among the AM processes, laser powder bed fusion suffers from low productivity and high residual stresses, especially in bulk components. Hence, this work aims to investigate the processability of the Ti6242 complex geometry components through the Electron beam powder bed fusion (EB-PBF) process. A design of experiments approach is adopted to identify the best hatching conditions that produce a fully dense material. The contour strategy is also optimised to obtain the lowest surface roughness. The influence of processing conditions on the final density, microstructure and defect content is investigated using different techniques, including X-Ray computer tomography (CT) analysis. With this scope, simple squared parallelepiped samples are produced. Then, selected optimum process conditions are adapted to produce more complex geometries, such as cylindrical tensile specimens and an impeller, which requires a dynamical control of the melt pool according to the section to be melted. The density and the accuracy of the impeller are evaluated using X-Ray computer tomography scanning.

Phase formation processes and main properties of zirconia-alumina ramming mix on a phosphate bond, depending on the temperature of its thermal treatment

The phase formation processes and the main properties of samples from zirconia-alumina ramming mix on a phosphate bond, thermal-treated in the temperature range 200—2100 °C, have been studied. It was found that, the most complete interaction of P2O5 with cubic ZrO2 occurs in the temperature range 1200—1400 °C. This manifests itself in a significant destabilization of the cubic ZrO2 phase (the amount of which varies from 70 to 35 %) and is accompanied by a drop in the samples strength (cold crushing strength varies from 62—72 to 35—44 N/mm2), which remains sufficient to maintain the structural strength of lining. The destabilization process of the ZrO2 cubic phase ends at a temperature of 1700 °C. An increase in the thermal treatment temperature of the samples from 1700 to 2000 °C causes the decomposition of aluminium, calcium and zirconium phosphates and leads to the re-stabilization of ZrО2. These processes contribute to compaction (apparent density increases from 4.28 to 4.30 g/cm3) and hardening of the samples structure (cold crushing strength increases from 72 to 95 N/mm2). A further increase in temperature from 2000 to 2100 °C leads to some melting of the sample surface due to the melting of corundum at a temperature of 2050—2070 °C.
 It has been established that, in the phase formation process in the temperature range 200—2000 °C the strength of lining made of zirconia-alumina ramming mix is sufficiently high to ensure its structural strength during service. In connection with the above, the maximum service temperature of the lining made of the developed zirconia-alumina ramming mix should not exceed 2000 °C.
 The results of the carried out studies were used in the development of a new type of product — zirconia-alumina ramming mix on a phosphate bond, intended for making a working lining layer at the border of combustion chambers and mixing industrial reactors for carbon black production.

Study on the preparation and thermal properties of binary mixed chloride salts

Nitrate phase change materials (PCMs) are the most widely used PCMs in solar thermal power generation technology. The maximum service temperature of Nitrate phase change materials is only 600°C. Therefore, to find a phase change material with large heat capacity, wide temperature range, low heat loss and low price is the focus of current research. According to different mass ratios, nine binary molten salt mixtures were prepared by mixing lithium chloride and sodium chloride. The phase change temperature and latent heat of phase transition of them were studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The experiment results showed that since the melting point of sodium chloride was high, when the content of sodium chloride in the binary mixture of lithium chloride and sodium chloride was large, a small amount of lithium chloride could not reduce the melting point of the mixture below 600°C, the mixture could not be melted. Meanwhile, when sodium chloride and lithium chloride were melted, the phase transition temperature of lithium chloride and sodium chloride remained at about 540°C and floated at ±15°C. The melting temperature and crystallization temperature of the binary mixture of 90% lithium chloride and 10% sodium chloride were quite different, and the latent heat of phase transformation was relatively high. Therefore, the binary mixed molten salt can be used in the heat transfer and storage technology of solar power generation.

The effect of different mixing methods on morphology and mechanical properties of PP/EPDM/talc blend

To overcome the low modulus and low maximum service temperature of polypropylene (PP) and ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) blends, incorporation of talc into blend have been considered. In this study, the effect of various mixing methods of morphological behavior and mechanical properties of PP/EPDM/talc compound were investigated. Samples were prepared by different methods in internal mixer and co-rotating twin-screw extruder. It was found, the tensile properties were not affected by applying different mixing methods.The highest impact resistance was related to sample which had pre-blending on two roll mills and finally mixed in the internal mixer. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs showed that the rubber dispersed morphology for all samples and the finest morphology was related to sample with the highest impact resistance. Because of pre-blending of EPDM/talc on two roll mills, this sample showed the best dispersion and distribution of talc.

Temperature effects on failure mode of double lap glass-aluminum and glass-GFRP joints with epoxy and acrylic adhesive

In this experimental study, a series of mechanical tests were conducted on double-lap joint specimens, where glass sheets were adhesively bonded on two different supports, namely aluminum and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP). Five different types of adhesives (three epoxy and two acrylic) were compared and three temperature conditions (room temperature, work temperature and maximum service temperature) were investigated. The main aim is to verify the applicability of this type of junction on civil applications, such as windows, glass façades, and so on.The first part of this study describes the results of tensile tests conducted in order to verify the compatibility of the bonding system at room temperature; the second part illustrates the degradation of the adhesive bonding due to high temperatures; in fact, if used in civil applications, these junctions are generally exposed to severe temperatures that could reach the glass transition temperature of the used adhesive, this leads to the necessity to verify the correct functionality of the adhesive joint.The results evidenced that the mechanical performance of adhesive junctions is considerably reduced as the temperature increases. This phenomenon is more evident in acrylic adhesives rather than epoxy ones. The epoxy adhesives in all tests exhibited the highest load carrying, while the acrylic ones showed the highest joint elongations.Different failure modes, classified as “Adhesive Failure”, “Cohesive Failure”, ‘‘Light-Fiber-Tear Failure” or “Mixed Failure”, were observed at room temperature while, at high temperatures, only “adhesive failure” was observed. The study demonstrates that high temperatures have a remarkable impact on the mechanical properties of adhesive junctions. Such effect should be suitably taken into account in the design and verification phase of components.The research results can be appropriately used in practical applications.
