Type AB-500-1 is by itself rather low melting and somewhat soft €or many lacquer uses but offers interesting properties where solubility in the less polar solvents or a minimum susceptibility to water is desired. It also shows promise as a component of thermosensitive adhesives. Type AB-161-2 has special properties which make it desirable for certain uses, particularly the coating of airplane fabrics. It is definitely less aoluble and has poorer compatibilitieq than the other members ni rhe series. The same type esters in higher viscosity forms have approximately the same solubility and compatibility properties as the esters described above. These higher viscosity types are to bt preferred where film strength and flexibility are of major importance and where appreciably lower solids contents or higll wlution viscosities can be tolerated in application. The cellulose acetate butyrates described here offer definite ~iewpossibilities in the formulation of lacquer-type protective mat ings,

RGA-C‘IC coatings such as paint, lacquer, mid varnish BCI as mechanical barriers and must remain attached to the substratum to provide protection against varying environmental Factors. (The term substratum refers to metal surfaces unlesb otherwise noted.) The phenomenon of this attachment of organic medium to the base material has been termed adhesion. In the past, adhesional forces have been separated into two broad .ategories-namely mechanical adhesion and specific adhesion. Mechanical adhesion has been defined as the bond due to the physical interlocking of the organic medium with the base metal surface irregularities. Specific adhesion has been interpreted as the bond based on the attractive forces a t the interface. Too often, the problem of developing a suitable method for measuring adhesion tias been made more difficult by the lack of realizationof what adhesionis: Adhesion is defined as the force normal to a unit area necessary to remove the film from the sub\tratuin.

The significance of adhesion to subsequent protection has effected the multitude of attempts to measure it. Efforts t o evaluate adhesion date back to the early part of this century. Prior to that time simple scratch and fingernail tests were used. Differenccs in adhesion were a matter of personal comparison without quantitative standard and were subject to the technologist’s experience and intuition. This same condition prevails today. Methods described in the literature (d,.4) have been developed to measure forces related to adhesion; all of these are comparative and actually do not measure adhesion alone but depend on some related property such as toughness, cohesion, bIittleness, hardness, or elasticity. The values obtained are useful, but there is no accurate scientific method of measuring adhesion; the exploratory tool needed to study adhesion effectively is lacking. After many surveys and interviews, the present investigation !?as undertaken to develop a direct, quantitative method for measuring adhesion. The requirements for a good, reproducible method have been analyzed and include controlled forces of application that are unidirectional (planar) and normal to the interface. The method must be applicable to films as they exist on a substratum and not films removed from the metal or acted on before actual test. It should be adaptable t o measurement of changes in adhesion under conditions of exposure without destroying the film-metal interface before evaluation. Highly desirable is a method that can give the data in fundamental units of mass, length, and time. Preliminary contact with various methods for producing usable ultrasonic vibrations led to the investigation of a method for measuring adhesion directly \Tith negliable effects from other film properties. This paper deals with the development of such a method for nieasuring adhesion. .4n organic film is attached to the free end of an aluminum alloy cylinder in which longitudinal vibrations are induced electrodynamically. The film separates from the metal when the force

due to acceleration exceeds the adhesion force a t the interface. The accelerating force is determined by the frequency of vibration, the amplitude of vibration, and the mass and area dimensions of the film. I n this manner the adhesion of an organic film to a metal can be accurately evaluated within a short series nf wmnd intervals of apparatus operation.

voltage is related to the alternating change of capacity and, in turn, to the alternating change of condenser plate separation. The amplitude may be varied in small, discrete increments by regulating the power input to the vibrator. The frequency can be varied by changing the length of the vibrating cylinder.

THEORY OF LOYGITUDINAL VIBRATIOh

Longitudinal vibrations of rods and cylinders involve the density and the elastic properties of the material; the displacements are in the direction of wave propagation. For small changes of length, Hooke's law applies: Stress is proportional to the elongation per unit length ( e ) or strain, and is equal t o Er where E is Young's modulus of elasticity. When a rod is stretched along its length, the increase in length IS usually accompanied by lateral contraction. By making the length large compared with the diameter, the longitudinal motion predominates grpatly and the transverse movement becomes uegligible. The force required to stretch a rod is proportional to the cross section, and the mass set in motion is also a function of the area. For a given length and material, the frequency of longitudinal vibration in the fundamental mode is independent of shape and area. Tubes, rods, and cylinders have the same frequency for a given length. The maximum acceleration occurring a t the ends of a rod vih a t i n g in simple harmonic motion is given by the expression (w2a), for the path of the periodic vibration can be analyzed as the projection of a uniform circular motion on a diameter of the circle. ( ~ 2 aequals ) 4+&, where ( d u ) =tpeak acceleration: w = 2rf0; i = fundamental resonant frequency; and a = amplitude. .Ilthough longitudinal waves in rods and cylinders can be set up by various mechanical and electrical methods, an electrical rnethod-electrodynamic- 11-as selected after preliminary investigation as the most promising. I n this method the dynamic driving system develops mechani(.a1 forces by the interaction of the field of an electric current in a conductor and a steady magnetic field. A coil is placed in a steady radial magnetic field and an alternating current of the suitable frequency in the coil sets up an alternating magnetic field that interacts with the steady field to produce resonant vibration in the coil. When the coil is wrapped on a metal cylinder r)r the cylinder itself carries the current, the cylinder, of course. aperiences the vibration. The use of thin nonmagnetic cylintlers eliminates high eddv and hysteresis losses a t the higher frpquencies. Variations of this method offered good possibilities for obtaining large amplitudes in the range of 15 to 60 kc. St. Clair (6) has demonstrated the induction principle for high intensity sound generation. This Fork, in which the interacting currents Liere induced in the moving metal cylinder, provided the basis for the design of an electrodynamic generator suitable for producing ultrawnic vihrations above 15 kc iPP4RATUS

The block diagram oi the apparatus for measuring adhesion is shown in Figure 1. Variation in the gain of the system initiates the vibration in the dynamic vibrator. The signal generated by the condenser feedback is sent to a cathode follower for proper impedance matching. .%n oscilloscope and a Ballantine voltmeter record the wave shape, frequency, and voltage. From the t'olloyer, the signal voltage is sent to the preamplifiers for phasing and amplification, and then to the large power amplifier. The output of the power stack a t 100 ohms impedance is delivered to a special ultrasonic matching transformer from which a low voltage but high current signal is returned to the dynamic vibrator, completing the self-exciting oscillatory system. The amplitude of vibration is determined by the sensitive camcitance measuring setup in which the generated alternating

Basically, the generator (an early model is showii in Figure 2) contains a vibrator-a resonant dural (24ST aluminum alloy) cylinder supported a t the center along its vertical axis-that is excited electrodynamically. The driving ring of the cylinder projects into the ring gap of a pot magnet whose central core carries the tightly wound exciting coil. The driving ring and the exciting coil are coaxial, and as a unit, function as a voltage step-down transformrr.

First Yibrator Using an Electromagnet

Early attempts to provide the polarizing maglietic field centered around an electromagnet. Preliminary efforts revealed several advantages of permanent magnets over an electromagnet system. In the design now in use, cylindrical shells of Alnico were used and a magnet assembly (Figure 3, 8) designed around the properties of the shells. The gap dimensions were modified to decrease the length, and changes were introduced in the geometry of the pole pieces and in the assembling mechanism in an effort to decrease leakage lossc~s. The flux density avcraged about 11,000 gausses. .I newer design is being made to provide 16,000gausses in a gap length of 0.11 inch. There is some doubt whether such high flux densities can be realized with existing materials. Some other possibilities exist for increasing the available, energy in the gap. but these involve the sacrifice of higher frequencirs \ I B R 4 T I \ G CYLIYDEH

(Operation in a vacuum has two advantages: radiation losses of vibration are reduced and thereby permit higher amplitudes to be reached; and dangers of exposure to ultrasonic vibrations are niininiizcd because the lack of air stops the transmittal of energy through tht. atmosphere to the personnel.) The micrometer condensrr electrode is brought into positior, until it just makes contact n-ith the top of the cap. This posit,iolj is determined by inserting the neon light circuit shown in Figure 3. The light goes off when the electrode is backed off 0.00001 incl, or less. It is from this point that the d of condenser separation is adjusted to 0.007 inch. The condenser is then connected to th!. cathode follower containing the polarizing voltage. -411 circuits (Figure 5 ) as well as t'he measuring voltmeterr art. turned on.
