Abstract
A fastening system including a first sintered powder metal fastening component and a second metal fastening component. The first sintered powder metal fastening component has a first porous surface and a one-part adhesive in the first porous surface. The second metal fastening component has a second surface. The second surface is configured to frictionally engage with the first porous surface.
Claims20
A fastening system comprising:
- a first metal fastening component having a first porous surface and a one-part adhesive in the first porous surface, and
- a second metal-fastening component having a second surface, wherein the second surface is configured to frictionally engage with the first porous surface,
- wherein the one-part adhesive can be activated at least partially, by friction heat, to join the first metal fastening component to the second metal fastening component.
A fastening system comprising:
- a first metal fastening component having a first porous surface and a first part of a two-part adhesive system in the first porous surface, and
- a second metal fastening component having a second surface and a second part of the two-part adhesive system coated on the second surface of the second fastening component, wherein the second surface is configured to frictionally engage with the first porous surface,
- wherein the first part and the second part of a two-part adhesive can be activated, at least partially, by friction heat, to join the first metal fastening component to the second metal fastening component.
A fastening system comprising:
- a first fastening component having a first porous surface and an adhesive compound in the first porous surface;
- and
- a second fastening component having a second surface, wherein the second surface is configured to frictionally engage with the first porous surface;
- wherein the first fastening component and the second fastening component are formed from powder metal compositions embedded in polymer matrixes;
- wherein the adhesive compound has the ability to be activated, at least partially, by friction heat, to join the first fastening component to the second fastening component.
