Optimized composition for bonding assistant coat in carbon steel sandwich panels

On the basis of the alloying theory of bonding assistant coat (BAC),taking into account of the interaction of alloy elements,the regressive equation,which relates the wetting ability of bonding assistant coat with the contents of Mn,Ni,Si,Sn,and B,was established by using quadratic regression orthogonal design of five factors.The influence of elements and their interaction on the wetting ability was analyzed.The ranges of alloy elements were optimized.The melting point of bonding assistant coat was measured by using differential thermal analysis.The results show that the interactions of Ni and Mn,Ni,and Sn can increase the wetting ability obviously and the melting point of bonding assistant coat has been decreased.
