Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify composing work and obtain excellent adhesive property as well as vibration attenuating property by a method wherein butene-1/ propene/ethene-terpolymer resin is bonded between two sheets of metallic sheets as an intermediate layer. CONSTITUTION:Adhesive property between butene-1/propene/ethene-terpolymer resin and a metallic sheet can be improved by modifying the resin by adding acid, anhydride of acid or peroxide of these substances in accordance with necessity. The butene-1/propene/ethene-terpolymer resin can be formed into a film or a sheet by employing a T-die film manufacturing device or an inflation film manufacturing device. A vibration-attenuating composite metallic sheet 14 is manufactured by a method wherein the film or the sheet 7 of the butene-1/ propene/ethene-terpolymer resin is interposed between the same kind or different kinds of the metallic sheets 1, 1' and they are preferably heated and compressed by employing a compression molding machine or rolls.

(Conventional technique*) In recent years, with the tightening of noise regulations for houses, automobiles, etc., various methods are being considered as countermeasures, but the main method is to use damping materials for sound sources or parts that produce sound due to the vibrations of these sound sources.

For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 39-12451 discloses a vibration-damping metal plate with an intermediate layer made of a copolymer of vinyl acetate and maleic diester, vinyl chloride and ethylhexyl acrylate, etc., but this is made of a viscoelastic resin. This method takes advantage of the well-known fact that vibrational energy is absorbed as thermal energy. It is expected that the viscoelasticity of this viscoelastic resin changes sensitively with changes in temperature.

Viscoelastic substances such as rubber, copolymer resin, and asphalt are considered effective as such materials. However, even though these have sufficient vibration damping ability, they have poor adhesion to the metal plate and poor workability for sandwiching them between two metal plates, so to date they have not been completely satisfactory. No material found.
