Abstract:
A method for manufacturing decorative-artistic articles from a fluid self-hardening material, in which a casting mould consisting of two dies is pre-manufactured, a lining material is placed into at least one of the dies, the space between the lining material and the working surface of the die is evacuated, the die is closed, after which the fluid self-hardening material is cast, wherein, before the lining material is placed into at least one of the dies, said material is pre-shaped by a punch in a thermal vacuum press, and the cavity between the dies is evacuated before the self-hardening material is cast. The technical results of the article include the production of an article from a fluid self-hardening material which is covered with a lining material, without creases and without loss of the material pattern, with good decorative properties and with an aesthetic external appearance, of any profile, without the formation of internal voids and casting defects, and not requiring additional processing of the surface; and a reduction in labour costs and costs of production.
Abstract:
The use of a structural adhesive to bond together components of an automobile seat reduces or eliminates the need for welding and can be used to bond together components of different materials; the adhesive can be activated by the heat employed in the provision of an anticorrosion coating on metal components.
