Abstract

Intermittent CSR testing was used to investigate the degradation of a hydrogenated NBR(HNBR) O-rings, and also the prediction of its life-time. The cure system of HNBR O-ring was controlled as sulfur cure and peroxide cure system. An intermittent CSR jig was designed taking into consideration the O-ring's environment under use. The testing allowed observation of the effects of friction, heat loss, and stress relaxation by the Mullins effect. Degradation of O-rings by thermal aging was observed between 100 and $120^{\circ}C$. In the temperature range of $100-120^{\circ}C$, O-rings showed linear degradation behavior and satisfied the Arrhenius relationship. The activation energy of HNBR-S was about 70.6 kJ/mol. From Arrhenius plots, predicted life-times of HNBR-S O-ring were 31.1 years and 33.7 years for 50% and 40% failure conditions, respectively. In case of HNBR-P, the activation energy was about 72.1kJ/mol, and predicted life-times were 34.0 years and 36.5 years for 50% and 40% failure conditions, respectively. The peroxide cure system showed slower degradation rate and higher activation energy than the sulfur cure system.

Intermittent CSR 측정법을 이용하여 hydrogenated NBR(이하 HNBR) 오링의 노화 거동과 수명 예측에 관하여 연구하였다. HNBR 오링의 가교 구조는 황 가교와 퍼옥사이드 가교를 이용하여 각각 제조하였다. Intermittent CSR jig는 오링의 실제 사용환경을 고려하여 설계 제작하였다. 각 측정 조건에 따른 마찰 영향, 열 손실 영향 및 Mullins effect에 의한 intermittent CSR의 응력 거동 변화를 관찰하였다. 오링의 노화 거동은 $100{\sim}120^{\circ}C$에서의 가속 노화 연구를 통하여 관찰하였다. 고장조건 50%와 40%에 대하여 HNBR 오링은 선형 노화 거동을 나타내었으며, Arrhenius relationship을 만족시켰다. HNBR-S 오링의 활성화 에너지는 70.6 kJ/mol로 나타났으며, Arrhenius plot으로부터 오링의 예측 수명은 고장 조건 50%와 40%에 대하여 각각 31.1년과 33.7년으로 나타났다. HNBR-P 오링의 활성화 에너지는 72.1 kJ/mol로 나타났으며, Arrhenius plot으로부터 오링의 예측 수명은 고장 조건 50%와 40%에 대하여 각각 34.0년과 36.5년으로 나타났다. 황 가교에 비하여 퍼옥사이드 가교에서 고무의 노화 속도가 느리게 나타났으며, 활성화 에너지는 높게 나타났다.
