Effect of Atomic Oxygen on Leakage Rate of ORing
-
摘要: 使用原子氧效应地面模拟设备对硅橡胶材料O型圈进行了原子氧暴露实验;用测压法进行了O型圈在原子氧暴露前后的泄漏率比对实验,并对实验前后O型圈表面形貌特征作了扫描电镜分析.实验表明:原子氧对O型圈表面有很大的剥蚀效应;O型圈经过原子氧暴露后,质量减少、泄漏率明显增大;暴露时间越长,表面形貌受到的损坏越严重、质量减少量越多,泄漏率也就越大.Abstract: Experiments were conducted with an IFM ground equipment to investigate the effect of atomic oxygen on silicone rubber O-rings. By measuring the pressure between two O-rings, leakage rates between the two O-rings before and after exposure to atomic oxygen were compared. In addition, the surface characteristics of O-ring were analyzed by scanning electron microscope. All experiments provethat atomic oxygen erodes the surface of O-ring seriously, resulting in a weight loss and a weakened sealing capacity of the O-ring. The results show that the surface damage, the weight loss and the leakage rate of an O-ring all increase in proportion to its of the time exposed to atomic oxygen.
