Description
Summary:Tests were conducted to determine the factors influencing the thermal conductance across the interface between 75S-T6 aluminum-alloy and AISI Type 416 stainless-steel structural joints. The type of joints investigated included: bare metal-to-metal contact; contact surfaces coated with zinc-chromate primer; contact surfaces separated by thin foils of good conductors (aluminum foil and brass shim stock); contact surfaces separated by thin sheets of insulation (asbestos); contact surfaces joined by strength-giving bonds (Redux and Metlbond); and riveted joints. The factors investigated were heat flow, temperature drop, temperature level, and surface condition. Contact pressure was held constant in all the work in order to permit a thorough investigation of the other parameters.
