Description

Two-component adhesive composition, adhesive laminate, and motor

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a two-component adhesive composition, an adhesive laminate, and a motor.

[0002] To reduce the weight of automobiles and electronic devices, there is a demand for adhesives to assemble components. Adhesives of various curing types are used, including heat-curing, ultraviolet (UV)-curing, moisture-curing (including instant adhesives), and anaerobic-curing.

[0003] Examples of conventional adhesive compositions include those described in Patent Documents 1 to 3. Patent Document 1 describes the curing of a substrate pre-coated with a metal catalyst using an anaerobic adhesive. Patent Document 2 describes anaerobic curing that involves the application and drying of a primer containing an organic solvent. Patent Document 3 describes a two-component anaerobic adhesive that cures at room temperature by mixing a component containing a metal complex with a component containing an organic peroxide.

[0004] JP 2016-117851 A International Publication No. 2019 / 123885 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-4667

[0005] Anaerobic adhesives can be cured at room temperature and have attracted attention for applications such as laminating electromagnetic steel sheets during motor core manufacturing. In electromagnetic steel sheet lamination applications, steel sheets coated with a large amount of processing oil must be bonded together to achieve strength. Furthermore, solvent-free adhesives are desirable from the perspectives of low environmental impact, fire safety, and health and safety. The adhesive composition described in Patent Document 1 requires prior application of an organic solvent-containing curing accelerator to the substrate, and the curing is described only for mating applications, with no mention or description of bonding laminates. Furthermore, the adhesive composition described in Patent Document 2 requires a primer treatment containing an organic solvent and a drying process for the processing oil on the steel sheet, making it unsuitable for bonding oily surfaces. Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses an adhesive composition that does not contain organic solvents, but its composition and metal components are extremely limited, and its adhesion to oily surfaces is insufficient.

[0006] The problem to be solved by the present disclosure is to provide a two-component adhesive composition that has an excellent curing rate at room temperature (25°C) and excellent adhesion to oily surfaces. Another problem to be solved by the present disclosure is to provide an adhesive laminate and a motor that use the two-component adhesive composition.

[0008] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a two-component adhesive composition that has an excellent curing rate at room temperature (25° C.) and excellent adhesion to oily surfaces. Furthermore, according to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide an adhesive laminate and a motor that use the two-component adhesive composition.

[0009] The following description of the constituent elements may be based on representative embodiments of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure is not limited to such embodiments. In this specification, the term "to" is used to mean that the numerical values ​​before and after it are included as upper and lower limits. In numerical ranges described in stages in this specification, the upper or lower limit of one numerical range may be replaced with the upper or lower limit of another numerical range described in stages. Furthermore, in numerical ranges described in this specification, the upper or lower limit of that numerical range may be replaced with a value shown in an example. In this disclosure, "mass %" and "wt %" are synonymous, and "parts by mass" and "parts by weight" are synonymous.

Furthermore, the two-component adhesive composition according to the present disclosure is an anaerobic curing adhesive composition and can be suitably used as an anaerobic curing adhesive composition for steel sheets.

While the precise mechanism is unclear, the adhesive performance is not affected even in the presence of oils, and the adhesive is capable of curing at room temperature (25°C) in a short time. Therefore, it is presumed that the adhesive exhibits excellent adhesion even on oil-adhered surfaces. Furthermore, the two-component adhesive composition according to the present disclosure has an excellent curing rate (fast curing) at room temperature, and does not require a drying process to dry the oil adhering to the adhesive surface, enabling the production of adhesive products with high production efficiency.

Like the first liquid, the second liquid may contain a polymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 5,000 or more and at least one radically polymerizable group. Except as described below, the (meth)acrylate compound, polymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 5,000 or more and at least one radically polymerizable group, adhesion promoter, organic solvent, and other components in the first liquid are synonymous with the (meth)acrylate compound, polymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 5,000 or more and at least one radically polymerizable group, adhesion promoter, organic solvent, and other components in the second liquid, and preferred embodiments are also the same. Unless otherwise specified, these common components that can be blended into the first and second liquids may be the same or different in the first and second liquids, and may be blended in both the first and second liquids, or only in the first or second liquid. It is preferable that a component that is blended as an essential component in only one of the first and second liquids is not blended in the other. For example, the first liquid may contain an organic peroxide, but the second liquid preferably does not contain an organic peroxide. Also, for example, the second liquid may contain an anaerobic curing accelerator containing vanadium, but the first liquid preferably does not contain an anaerobic curing accelerator containing vanadium. In addition, other anaerobic curing accelerators that are optional components of the first liquid, such as benzsulfimide compounds and hydrazine compounds, activate the anaerobic curing accelerator containing vanadium in the second liquid and shorten the curing time, so from the perspective of handling the adhesive, it is preferable that they are not blended in the second liquid.

[0056] From the viewpoints of curability and adhesion speed, it is preferable that the polymers contained in the first liquid and the second liquid each have two or more radically polymerizable groups in one molecule. Also, from the viewpoint of oily surface adhesion, it is preferable that the polymers contained in the first liquid and the second liquid each have a urethane bond in their molecular skeleton. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of oily surface adhesion, it is preferable that the glass transition temperatures of the polymers contained in the first liquid and the second liquid each be less than 25°C. From the viewpoint of oily surface adhesion, it is preferable that the content of organic solvents in both the first liquid and the second liquid is less than 0.1% by mass relative to the total mass of the first liquid or the second liquid.

[0057] <<Vanadium-Containing Anaerobic Curing Accelerator>> Examples of vanadium-containing anaerobic curing accelerators can be selected from compounds such as inorganic compounds, organic compounds, and complexes containing vanadium. Examples of inorganic compounds include vanadium oxides such as vanadium dioxide and vanadium pentoxide, and mineral acid salts such as vanadyl sulfate, vanadyl nitrate, vanadium trichloride, vanadium tetrachloride, vanadyl dichloride, vanadyl trichloride, vanadium tribromide, and vanadium triiodide.

From the viewpoints of adhesion to oily surfaces and curing speed, the content of the vanadium-containing anaerobic curing accelerator is preferably 0.006% by mass to 15% by mass, more preferably 0.008% by mass to 10% by mass, and particularly preferably 0.1% by mass to 5% by mass, relative to the total mass of the second liquid.

[0060] The vanadium-containing anaerobic curing accelerator has the function of initiating a curing reaction upon contact with the organic peroxide contained in the first liquid. Metals other than vanadium can also function as anaerobic curing accelerators, and the second liquid may contain an anaerobic curing accelerator containing a metal other than vanadium (particularly, transition metal elements such as Cu, Mn, Co, etc.). To ensure uniform mixing of the second liquid, the content of the anaerobic curing accelerator containing a metal other than vanadium (particularly, transition metal elements such as Cu, Mn, Co, etc.) may be reduced, and may be less than 0.01% by mass, more specifically, less than 0.006% by mass, relative to the total mass of the second liquid. Furthermore, like the vanadium-containing anaerobic curing accelerator, the anaerobic curing accelerator containing a metal other than vanadium is preferably not contained in the first liquid, as is the case with the second liquid.

[0061] The viscosity of the second liquid at 25°C is preferably 10,000 mPa·s or less, more preferably 5 to 9,000 mPa·s, even more preferably 10 to 8,000 mPa·s, and particularly preferably 15 to 7,000 mPa·s, from the viewpoints of the ease with which the second liquid applied to the metal material spreads and the second liquid does not excessively spill out from the bonding surface during lamination. From the viewpoint of curing speed, the viscosity is preferably 3,000 Pa·s or less. Furthermore, the viscosity of the second liquid at 25°C is preferably 0.5 to 2.0 times the viscosity of the first liquid at 25°C, and more preferably 0.7 to 1.5 times the viscosity of the first liquid at 25°C.

[0062] The ratio of the first liquid to the second liquid used is not particularly limited as long as adhesion is possible, but is preferably 20 / 80 to 80 / 20, more preferably 30 / 70 to 70 / 30, and particularly preferably 40 / 60 to 60 / 40 in mass ratio.

[0063] The method for producing the two-component adhesive composition according to the present disclosure is not particularly limited, and the composition can be produced by a known method. For example, the first and second components can be produced by blending predetermined amounts of each component and mixing them using a mixing means such as a mixer at a temperature of preferably 10°C to 100°C for preferably 0.1 to 5 hours.

[0064] (Adhesive Laminate) The adhesive laminate according to the present disclosure may be any adhesive laminate formed by bonding using the two-component adhesive composition according to the present disclosure. Preferably, the adhesive laminate is formed by bonding and laminating two or more metal materials using the two-component adhesive composition according to the present disclosure. More preferably, the adhesive laminate is formed by bonding and laminating two or more steel sheets using the two-component adhesive composition according to the present disclosure. Other suitable examples include adhesive laminates formed by bonding two or more threaded members (e.g., screws and threaded holes) or two or more interlocking members (e.g., protruding members and recessed members, rod members and hole members, etc.) using the two-component adhesive composition according to the present disclosure. Among metal materials, the two-component adhesive composition according to the present disclosure is suitable for bonding steel sheets. The steel sheet is not particularly limited, and preferred examples include electrical steel sheets and cold-rolled steel sheets. The electrical steel sheet may be either oriented or non-oriented, but non-oriented electrical steel sheets are preferred when used for motor cores, rotors, stators, etc., as described below.

[0065] The adhesive laminate according to the present disclosure can be used for various purposes without any particular limitation. Among these, the adhesive laminate according to the present disclosure is suitably used for motor cores and the like because it is insulated by the cured product of the two-component adhesive composition according to the present disclosure, has low current loss, high performance and high reliability, and distributes stress over a surface, preventing stress concentration and strain concentration.

[0066] The method for producing the adhesive laminate according to the present disclosure is not particularly limited, but preferably includes the steps of applying the two-component adhesive composition according to the present disclosure to at least one of the adherends to be bonded, and laminating another adherend to the adherend to which the two-component adhesive composition has been applied. The application of the two-component adhesive composition according to the present disclosure to the adherends may involve applying the first and second components to only one of the adherends, or applying the first component to one of the adherends and the second component to the other adherend, or discharging the components while mixing them using a mixing device such as a screw just before use and applying them to the adherends. From the viewpoint of further demonstrating the effects of the present disclosure, the adherends are preferably made of a metal material.

[0067] After the step of laminating another adherend, the two-component adhesive composition can be heated to cure in a shorter time. The heating method is not particularly limited, but examples include a thermostatic bath and a far-infrared heater. The temperature and time during heating may be any conditions that allow sufficient curing, but heating is preferably performed at a temperature of 40°C to 300°C, more preferably 60°C to 150°C, for 10 seconds to 3 hours, more preferably 20 seconds to 60 minutes. When placing the adhesive laminate in the thermostatic chamber, it is preferable to fix it in advance with a fixture or the like to prevent misalignment.

[0068] The method for applying the two-component adhesive composition is not particularly limited, and known methods can be used, such as roller application, dispensing, spraying, inkjet application, and dipping.

[0069] An example of a method for producing an adhesive laminate using the two-component adhesive composition will be described below.

[0070] Unless otherwise specified, the manufacturing method described below may be carried out by appropriately changing the order of steps and conditions depending on the adhesive laminate to be manufactured, and further steps may be added.

[0071] The number of layers of the adhesive laminate obtained in the manufacturing method described below is not particularly limited. When an adhesive laminate having three or more layers is manufactured in the manufacturing method described below, the adhesive laminate can be manufactured by sequentially stacking and adhering metal adherends. An unfinished adhesive laminate that has not reached the desired number of layers has layers including already-adhered metal adherends, and an adhesive laminate can be manufactured by stacking and adhering an unlaminated metal adherend to the uppermost or lowermost layer. When such metal adherends are sequentially stacked and adhered, the uppermost or lowermost layer of the unfinished adhesive laminate can be considered to be the metal adherend.

[0072] In one embodiment, a method for manufacturing an adhesive laminate includes the steps of preparing a first metal substrate having a first liquid and a second liquid applied to at least one surface thereof, and superimposing the surface of the first metal substrate to which the first liquid and the second liquid have been applied onto a second metal substrate.

[0073] In one embodiment, a method for manufacturing an adhesive laminate includes the steps of preparing a first metal substrate having a first liquid applied to at least one surface thereof, preparing a second metal substrate having a second liquid applied to at least one surface thereof, and overlapping the surface of the first metal substrate having the first liquid applied thereto with the surface of the second metal substrate having the second liquid applied thereto.

[0074] In one embodiment, a method for producing an adhesive laminate includes the steps of: (1) preparing a plurality of metal substrates each having a first liquid and a second liquid applied to one side thereof; and (2) stacking the plurality of metal substrates prepared in step (1) so that the surfaces coated with the first liquid and the second liquid come into contact with the surfaces not coated with the first liquid and the second liquid.

[0075] In one embodiment, a method for manufacturing an adhesive laminate includes the steps of (1) preparing a plurality of first adherend metals, (2) preparing a plurality of second adherend metals having a first liquid and a second liquid applied to both sides thereof, and (3) alternately stacking the first adherend metals and the second adherend metals so that the first adherend metals come into contact with the surfaces of the second adherend metals coated with the first liquid and the second liquid.

[0076] Alternatively, a laminate of the metal substrates may be formed before applying at least one of the first liquid and the second liquid to the metal substrates, and then the first liquid or the second liquid that has not been applied may be provided between the metal substrates to bond the metal substrates that form the laminate.

[0077] Simply laminating the metal substrates may leave gaps large enough to allow the two-component adhesive composition to penetrate between them. Therefore, the two-component adhesive composition can be permeated into the laminate by spraying the two-component adhesive composition onto the side of the laminate or by impregnating the laminate with the first and second components, respectively. Alternatively, an injection nozzle can be inserted between the metal substrates, and the two-component adhesive composition (first and second components) can be injected directly between the metal substrates. When applying the two-component adhesive composition between the metal substrates, it is desirable to physically fix the laminate from the outside.

[0078] In one embodiment, a method for producing an adhesive laminate includes the steps of: (1) preparing a laminate in which at least two or more metal substrates are stacked; (2) supplying a first liquid between the metal substrates of the laminate; and (3) supplying a second liquid between the metal substrates of the laminate.

[0079] In one embodiment, a method for producing an adhesive laminate includes a step (1) of laminating metal substrates to prepare a laminate, and a step (2) of providing a two-component adhesive composition (first and second components) between the metal substrates of the laminate.

[0080] When an adhesive laminate is produced using an electromagnetic steel sheet as the adherend metal, a method is generally used in which a hoop material is continuously or intermittently fed and the adherend metal obtained by punching is sequentially laminated. Using any of the above-mentioned adhesive laminate production methods, it is possible to continuously laminate and adhere electromagnetic steel sheets from the hoop material.

[0081] For example, an adhesive laminate of magnetic steel sheets can be produced by a method for producing an adhesive laminate including the steps of: (1) applying a two-component adhesive composition (first and second components) to one side of a hoop material; (2) punching the hoop material to produce a metal substrate of a predetermined shape; and (3) sequentially stacking the resulting metal substrates. In this method, the step of (4) applying a press working oil to at least one side of the hoop material may be carried out before punching.

[0082] The present disclosure will be specifically described below based on examples. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these examples. In the following, "parts" and "%" mean "parts by mass" and "% by mass", respectively, unless otherwise specified.

[0086] <Preparation of Adhesive Laminate> Two electromagnetic steel sheets (35H300L manufactured by Nippon Steel Corporation) were prepared. Both electromagnetic steel sheets were degreased with acetone. Processing oil was applied to one side of one electromagnetic steel sheet, and processing oil was applied to one side of the other electromagnetic steel sheet. Equal amounts of the first and second two-component adhesive compositions were applied to separate electromagnetic steel sheets in this order, so that the total film thickness after curing was 10 μm or less. Immediately after applying the second component, the two electromagnetic steel sheets were bonded together, clamped with double clips, and left to stand at 25°C for 2 minutes, 5 minutes, or 24 hours to prepare test specimens. A tensile shear test was performed on the test specimens according to the method described below, and shear strength was measured. Test specimens were also prepared in the same manner as above, except that processing oil was not applied to the two electromagnetic steel sheets. A tensile shear test was performed on the test specimens according to the method described below, and shear strength was measured.

[0087] <Tensile shear test> Using a Strograph 20-C manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisakusho, Ltd., the shear strength was measured by pulling the test piece at 10 mm / min at room temperature (25°C), and the measurement results are shown in Table 1. The higher the shear strength value after 24 hours in the presence of processing oil, the better the adhesion to oily surfaces. Furthermore, the higher the shear strength value after standing for 2 minutes and 5 minutes, especially after 2 minutes, the better the curing speed at room temperature. The evaluation criteria for curing speed at room temperature are as follows: A: Adhesion strength after 2 minutes is 1 MPa or more B: Adhesion strength after 5 minutes is 0.5 MPa or more and adhesion strength after 2 minutes is less than 1 MPa C: Adhesion strength after 5 minutes is less than 0.5 MPa

[0088]

[0089] The numerical values ​​of each raw material in Table 1 are in parts by mass. The symbol "-" in the tensile shear test indicates that the test was not performed. In Comparative Example 1, insoluble matter was generated in the second liquid, making it impossible to measure the viscosity or perform the tensile shear test.

[0090] The two-component adhesive compositions of Examples 1 to 8 were superior to the two-component adhesive compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 5 in both curing speed at room temperature (25°C) and adhesion to oily surfaces.
