Abstract
A connecting element for the friction-increasing connection of workpieces which are to be joined, which is a thin resilient element which bears particles of a defined size at its surface, the particles being made from a material with a compressive and shear strength which exceeds that of the workpieces to be joined.
Claims13
An independent connecting element for a friction increasing reversible connection of workpieces each having a face which are to be joined together at the face, said element comprising opposite contact surfaces with each surface comprising a thin, resilient film with an inherent strength which is at least as high as the inherent strength of the workpieces to be joined together, the resilient film bearing particles of defined size on said surfaces and these particles consisting of at least one material selected from the group consisting of carbides, borides, nitrides, SiO2, Al2O3 and diamond and which has a compressive and shear strength which exceeds that of the workpieces to be joined together.
